Fishing

So, this is the 3rd time I've gone fishing in my life.  The first time, I broke my friend's extra pole...and was maybe 7 or 8 years old.  The second time, was over 15 years ago.  So, this is my first time fishing in this century.  Here are some pictures documenting our adventure:

Alyssa struggling to bait the hook.

Scott, our fish whisperer...

Before we started catching fish, the competition

became who could catch the biggest seaweed.

Getting schooled by Kim's niece.

Ok, so seaweed escalated to sticks/debris.

Another stick I caught.

Alyssa caught a stick.

TURTLE!

Kim caught a fish! Now we're gettin' somewhere...

I temporarily broke the fishing rod catching a tree.

Alyssa caught a catfish!

Jeremy caught a blue gill! 

(I think that's what that is)

I finally caught a "yellow belly" catfish!

Hello!

Catfish prince?

Alyssa caught a CARP!  Kim had to go down to pick it up

out of the water...

Alyssa was definitely the MVP 

of the fishing "competition"!!!
