Boston's FIRST catch!


Boston got a Fishing pole and tackle box for his birthday, and was practically begging to go....so we took him to Jensen Pond.

After nearly 2 hours of watching everyone else around us catching all the fish, Boston finally got one! With a little help from Dad, he reeled in a big CATFISH.

At first he was so excited, but once he came face to face with that big UGLY beast....he completely broke down into tears! He kept saying "put him back, put him back." Unfortunately it was a little too late, the damage was done!

Turns out Boston wasn't really ready for the whole fishing experience....it was quite traumatic!
I think next time we'll catch and definitely RELEASE!!

Good catch Boston. Kenlie gagged at the smell of the first fish she ever caught. We thought she'd loose it for sure.

Poor little guy!!! I remember the first fish I caught too....my dad hit its head on the rock to kill it...traumatic to the say the least. I learned that I couldn't watch it after that.

Way to go Boston. Catfish are not so pretty I would cry too!!

What a funny (or, not-so-funny for Boston)story. Just send him out fishing with Grandpa Jones and he'll be cured of his fears.

Oh... I am so glad Bosty got to catch his first fish. He is doing better than Benson. This weekend is his first camping trip and maybe he'll catch something.
