So Chrystal headed out to Kentucky to see family and attend the World's Largest Chicken Festival. She took Paisley along leaving Spencer and I at home for a boys weekend. We started our day off today with T-ball. Spence has been playing for a month now. We will post pictures I promise. After T-ball, we went and got a fishing license so I could pass my master angler skills on to him.
Green Mountain Falls has a little lake in the middle of town that is stocked by the DOW. Spence is set up with a Buzz Lightyear fishing pole he got a few birthdays or Christmases ago.
We had some bites early on thanks to the trout nugget power bait we got at Walmart.
He was working hard to get the first fish!
Dad caught the first keeper, but Spence netted it for us.
He kept chugging along. We ended up fishing for over 2 hours. Amazing it held his attention for that long.
Spence caught the second keeper all on his own. He made the cast and told me he had a fish on. I thought he was kidding until he reeled it right up to the bank where I netted it.
I was absolutely amazed when he caught the fish on his own. We were lake/pond fishing without bobbers and the kid hooked one all by himself! I was a very proud dad to say the least. We will definitely be heading back. We just haven't decided yet if mom and Paisley will be allowed.
