The Catch of the Day!

Yesterday evening we went with my parents to a fishing spot down the road from my brothers house. He just got home from a ten day fishing trip to Alaska so we also wanted to stop by and see him and hear any wild fishing tales he might have!

This was Kellen's first fishing trip and our first time to take Jax. We were a little bummed that Jon was working. Jax had made cookies with Mimi earlier that afternoon so on our way home we swung by dad's work and took him some cookies and told him about Jaxson's FISH

 Pops got his pole ready and gave pointers on how to get it done.. Not even 15 minutes after being there Jax hooked him one and and Mimi helped him reel it in.

The look on his face was priceless. He was so excited and a little shocked that he had caught one so quick. We knew he had went before because he had told us about it on the way there so we assumed he would hold it and touch it and stuff, but he was a little stand-off ish about it. Later that night I asked him if he had ever caught a fish before and he said 'yeah, but not one that big, so thats why I didnt want to hold it.'

Fishy fishy

                                                   My baby cakes got in on the fishing action too! Not sure his technique would have hooked anything though, but he had the jerking for perch action down pat! :)

                                          My mom got a picture below of him casting his reel with his hands. He was standing by watching Jax, my dad and me fish and started copying what we were doing. So cute.
