Fishing
My pet got to go fishing yesterday. We have a pond in the back yard, and haven't really fished in it since We moved in a couple years ago. when We moved in, it looked kinda pitiful. water level was half what it is now. but it's been a good year, and the pond is full. pet wanted to go fishing the other day, but the rods were all tangled up. so last night I straightened them out out, cleaned and oiled the reels. tied on new hooks, etc. then this afternoon we walked out there with a bag of old hogie buns. pet actually caught the first fish. a good pan sized brim. then I caught a couple catfish. she started getting frustrated, so I let her use My rig (an ultralight trigger spin) and she caught a couple more good size catfish. ultralight rod with 1-2 pound line can make catching a 2-3 pound fish kinda fun. even taught her the knot to tie on a hook, snap swivel, etc.
