Fishing at the Park

The other weekend, we went fishing at a local park. We never knew this park existed until we had a youth church event there. Brad was so excited to find a new public fishing place so close to the house.

Avery and I were feeding the ducks when we kept seeing something j were jumping out of the water. At first I thought they were turtles, because I have never seen fish eat bread before. Brad wanted to find out so he threw a line out with some bread on it. Sure enough, about 2 minutes later, he had a fish....and it was BIG!

He tried for about 5 minutes to real him in. He was worried that he was going to break the line. When he was bending over to pick the fish up, the fish wiggled and the hook came lose...therefore, no real good pictures to show yall. I tried to get some before he escaped.




Avery was REALLY interested in what Daddy was doing. She kept trying to go over to the water and stick her hand in.



Later on, Brad did catch a litter fish (with bread again...). He thinks this was a huge perch? I don't know, and really I don't care. Brad was happy to catch a least one fish before we had to leave.
I have a feeling we will be going to this park a lot now. :)
