Brenna's fish

[vaneramos]

I took lots of photos this past week, but don't know how much time I'll have to post before the girls and I go back to the cottage tomorrow. This one is for Danny djjo. Brenna caught this smallmouth bass (about 12") while the rest of us were still in bed on Saturday morning. It had started to look listless and a little lopsided in the bucket where Brenna was keeping it, so she had released it by the time Danny arrived on the dock.



It's another sign my daughters are growing up. I'm too soft-hearted to fish unless I plan on eating, and although I'm squeamish about unhooking them, I have always been called upon to do so, not to mention cutting up worms and putting them on the hook. This weekend Brenna did it all herself.

Oooh, that's a nice fish. Delicious, too, if you'd eaten it. I remember catching one when I was about her age, and it was awfully exciting!

Yes, I ate one several years ago, but the bass in our lake have lots of parasites, so the flesh is very spotty: not very appetizing and a little risky to eat in case it isn't cooked properly. I like fish but the girls don't care for it.

Very pretty fish!

She did a great job there! It also amazed me seeing her fishing. Seeing her going and getting the worms and putting them on the hook, then doing the fishing.

I never got into any of that. Too squeemish. Plus dad stopped fishing around the time I was 9.

Hugs all around an safe trip back to the cabin and have a glorious summer! Danny
