Fishing at The Hill

Last Sunday, we went fishing behind my parents house. I can honestly say that I've turned into somewhat of a city girl since I sat on the back of the truck for the first few minutes just to make sure there where no critters or crawly things by the shore. Once I was convinced, I made the trek through the weeds and joined up with my dad, Colby, Mike, Holden and my mom. We were fishing for anything that would bite. We caught a few catfish that were a few inches long and my dad caught a couple of big catfish but they both broke the line before he could get them reeled in. A really big catfish swam around the shore right beside Mike and just kind of teased him. So, instead of trying to catch him with his fishing pole, Mike told me to go grab a rake! Granted, had Mike actually caught the fish with the rake, I would be telling you how great an outdoorsman he was but just seeing him trying to catch that fish with a rake was too much! The only thing he managed to get out of the pond were a few minnows! But, nevertheless, we had a great time!


Notice how Holden's dress is tucked up in the back? It kept getting dirty when she bent down so we had to make it where she could squat down without getting her dressed messed up - apparently, she's a city girl too!

Colby and my mom try to catch minnows with cups!

Here's Mike fishing with the rake! He was so intense about this!!!
