I..... I mean James caught one!

I took James fishing up the canyon this morning.  We bought some worms on the way up, and I figured we would have the same luck we've had so far - which is none.  But this time, on the last cast, with James reeling in the line, we caught one!

As the line gets close to shore I like to reel it in so that it doesn't get stuck in the seaweed stuff growing next to the shore.  So I took the line from him when it was just about in, gave the reel a couple cranks, and realized there was a fish on the hook!  We pulled it in, put it in James' butterfly net from the dollar store, and a nice man walking by took the hook out for me.  Believe it or not, I do get grossed out by certain things...

Anyway, I didn't even think to take a camera, and by the time we got home James was asleep, so I snapped a few out in the front yard.  The 2-foot Spiderman pole worked great!  Later tonight, maybe we'll pull the fish out of the fridge and take some pictures with James and his little fish!

Yeah! There's nothing quite like watching your kids catch their first fish. They get so excited! (And we do too ;)
