Grandma and Grandpa and I wet a hook in Utah Lake this week. Everyone else was busy (soccer practice, doctors appointments, school etc.). We picked up some worms and off we went. As soon as we threw in our lines the fish started biting. Grandma and Grandpa both caught a nice channel cat and I caught a bull head catfish and a large carp. One of the fish Grandma hooked into was very large. It took off up and down the shore line on multiple runs.
Grandma and Grandpa sit waiting for the big bite.
One of the fish Grandma hooked into was very large. It took off up and down the shore line on multiple runs. Once it got close to the edge it lodged itself into the rocks. I reached my hand under the rocks to pull up the slimy vertebrate and it shook free from the line. I was very disappointed with the smooth catfish get away.
I hope Grandma and Grandpa found the experience relaxing. I know I had fun. Nice catch you guys. Don't forget I still have worms in the fridge just in case you want to tomorrow.
The trophy catfish is still in the lake but in Grandma's hands are a few good fillets for lunch. It is nice to see they both still have the passion of fishing.
Sorry I missed the fishing outing. Heather and I had a doctor's appointment we couldn't miss. Looks like you all had a nice relaxing time. Next time we go, watch out cause Heather and I are your competition!
