Micah's First Catch!

On Sunday after church, we headed over to Scott and Lisa's. Grandpa had been waiting for us, well, for Micah that is. He was going to take Micah fishing in their backyard pond. Oh was Micah excited! After I required a snack and potty break for Micah, he bolted out the door with Papa and got acquainted with this hobby known as "fishing." What a perfect day for it - they caught 9-10 fish in the 30 or so minutes they were out there. Only 1 cast came up empty!

Getting ready for the first cast:


Micah's first catch (on the first cast) - a large mouth bass:


Grandma came out and got to see one of the fish caught (which was 1 blue gill, and the rest were large mouth bass):


Micah sportin' his "Grampa's Fishing Buddy" shirt (we'll have to see if there's a "Grampa's Golfing Buddy" shirt for when he plays his first 18 with g'pa Sovilla):


Another bite - reel 'er in!


Micah getting a little closer to the fish...


...but he still refused to touch any of them. :-)

Helping clean up after a successful afternoon of some catch-and-release fishing. Micah was determined to carry the tackle box all the way across the backyard, up the stairs, and into the garage for g'pa.
