Hunter Fishing Trip

What a handsome cowboy! Hunter is really into dressing like a cowboy lately. The other day he even wore his cowboy hat, shorts and cowboy boots to preschool. Totally something only little boys can get away with! This was him early Saturday morning while he waited for his Grandpa and Uncle Quincy to come pick him up to go fishing. 7:30 couldn't come fast enough! Hunter had a wonderful time out at Cluff Ponds...........yes we have ponds named after us, what can we saw we are famous in these parts! Ha, Ha! Hunter loved the slimy worms!
Uncle Quincy said Hunter got really good at casting during this trip. A few months ago Hunter had his first fishing trip with Uncle Quincy and it was quite eventful. While Uncle Quincy had walked back to the truck, Hunter noticed the bobber going up and down. Hunter tried to yell to Uncle Quincy, but he couldn't hear him. So Hunter just took the fishing pole and reeled in a Blue Gill. Hunter had never caught a fish before and Uncle Quincy knew this. So he was extremely shocked when he came and saw that Hunter had caught a fish ALL BY HIMSELF! Hunter was so proud, so was Uncle Quincy I think!
Grandpa was the only one to catch a fish, but Hunter loved it none the less. I guess they had lots of bites which at least made it fun. Uncle Quincy then took Hunter and showed him how to gut and skin the fish. Hunter LOVED that part. I only wish Uncle Quincy would have finished the job and showed Hunter how to cook it. Now Hunter can't wait to eat his fish!
