Fishin up at ole' Pete's Hole

Daniel and I decided to take a short fishing trip up Joe's Valley to Pete's Hole before I had to go in to work at 1. We left at 6:30 to make it up there in enough time to fish, and to give us enough time to make it home for work.


I like to use my lucky lime green lure, and it was lucky today! Above is my one of the littler ones I caught, but it was really pretty so I wanted to put this pic up. I caught 8 fish and had many other little bites compared to Daniel's 3. Part of his "success" is due to the fact that he kept feeding a little chipmunk sunflower seeds and shooting at the pot gut intruder instead of casting out and reeling in.



However - I have to tell the funny story of Daniel's first fish. I traded him poles to give him a chance to catch a fish. With me casting out on his pole I caught a little one first cast.. :D Next he finally caught a fish on my pole and was determined to get a picture with the "d@*#" fish as it spit the hook and fell to the ground, he was kickin' it up on the shore to keep it from flopping back in the lake, dropping it 2 or 3 times, I should have switched the camera to video mode and recorded it, but I was laughing so hard it brought me to tears. So I finally got a pitcure of his with his fish :P I hope its still alive with the grip that he had on it.

It was an great morning, fun and muddy, but the best of days!
