A Fish Tale

This summer Jeff and the boys discovered fishing. I was really excited because this seemed like a perferct "boy bonding time" for all of them. Like most of Jeff's hobbies he always goes "all out". We now have an entire section of the garage devoted to fishing tools and accessories. For those of you who know Jeff this is not a hobby you would have ever imagined for him to get into. Bless his heart, he is not really the outdoorsy type. But, they all seem to really be enjoying it so I just sit back and smile.

Tonight before dinner Grant and Jeff went over to Gran's house (Jeff's grandma) and went fishing in her backyard. I happened to drive up at just the right moment and caught all of the excitement with my camera.

Jeff caught a fish and he tried to take the hook out.

Then Grant tried to take the hook out.

Then Jeff and Grant tried to take the hook out.

Everyone worked together to get the hook out. I even put down the camera for a few minutes and tried to do it by myself.

Finally after trying nearly every "dehooking" tool that we own, the line broke and we were all feeling really sorry for the fish and dinner was ready, so we ended up just throwing the fish back in the pond with the hook still in his mouth.
