So yesterday was a shorter day for the stores and so John's dad offered to take us and 2 family friends fishing. I caught the first fish - a 15 lb or so silver salmon. John didn't get so lucky and just got a bunch on "Jack" salmon. We use bait bigger than that! In fact we brought along like a 10 lb salmon to use for bait if we ended up halibut fishing. I like fishing with John because he baits my hook, takes my fish off the hook, and someone else fillets it for me. I don't even have to get dirty! :o)
The girls came along since we couldn't find anyone to watch them last minute. We took turns fishing and entertaining them. At first Lexi didn't want to come near the fish we caught (she's gone fishing before and touched the fish - she still talks about how icky it is). By the end she was laughing at how the fish would "wiggle." She got ahold of the camera and took the picture of Kaytlin and I (John's dad is in the background).
These next two pictures were from a while ago. John went fishing with his parents and cousin. So it was a sunny day, the water was relatively calm, and a great day for fishing. While they were fishing there were humpbacks nearby and they saw one breech twice! (Breech means it jumps out of the water.) Then John caught his biggest halibut yet - 53.5 lbs! Of course his mom ended up bringing up an 80-something pounder right after John's was up! And to top it all off they called Dustin (John's brother) to come and take pictures before the fish got filleted - all so that I could put them on our blog. :o)
