Gone Fishin'


Carter went fishing today for his first time! He has been waiting for this day for a few months now. He went with his scout group to the greatest pond, where only kids under 14 can fish. They don't have to have a license and neither do parents. Parents cannot fish but can help the kids. We had a great time! He caught a fish and as soon as it was being lifted up out of the water, it wiggled off the hook and swam away. Carter was so disappointed. It took him another 45 minutes to catch another one. He only believes he caught one fish, not two. I guess he doesn't believe in catch and release. When it came time to divide up the fish between the boys, Carter said he didn't want to eat the fish but still wanted to take it home. Not sure what he wanted to do with it! Maybe mount it? It was a prize and he was so happy.

Carter looks like the most proud kid ever! How fun to go fishing!! Maybe this will turn into a lifelong love of his.
