A Fishing Tale

 We have been fishing a few times this year and having a great time. It seems like I never have my camera with me or just forget to take pictures. So, we went the first part of November with the kids. The kids lost interest after a while (that's pretty typical--they really want to go and then they end up throwing rocks or playing with the fish we catch instead of actually fishing). Mike and I kept going and I was ready to go home when Mike pulled in the biggest trout that we've seen caught from the reservoir we were at. We were really excited about it. We decided to fish some more and I was about ready to be done when I felt something on my line. It ended up being a huge fish (for us!) and dwarfed Mike's big fish. I definitely took some pictures when we got home to document this trip.
 

My fish was about 18 inches long and we think it weighed about two pounds. Earlier in the year we caught trout that were only 6 inches long so this was a big difference!

Wow, that is about 18 inches longer than any fish I have ever caught! Fun family activity!
