Oh the Fishing Derby-- a time honored classic- getting up around 3:30 a.m.-- to drive to Soda Springs-- wait in line in the dark with the rest of the Hill Billy Deluxe Crowd-- freezing-- because the temperature in the pickup read -10 as you pulled up-- pay your money-- then go and stomp a place in the snow-- trying soo hard not to fall in the pond-- then wait -- wait wait-- trying to keep your hands warm enough to run your reel -- then the shot-- and we're off-- the adrenaline runs as you cast out-- it looks like a kaleidascope witha ll the different color lures- being flung into the air all at once-- then the pay off-- FISH On!! Hoooray-- A huge old monster fish-- you fling it onto the bank into the snow drift-- and cast out again! Trying to keep the ice off your pole and your hands from cramping -- but this is what we call fun--this is what we wait for all year long!! Oh the Fishing Derby -- i love it!
This year however, I did not make it-- the baby had been sick-- and I wasn't feeling great and I didn'tthink standing out in freezing cold weather would help-- but Dad, Doug and Brent went-- here is what they brought home!!
The Whole Crew- including Jayson and Liam (they didn't get to go-- to cold for kids!)
What Big Fish you have!
Doug caught the biggest fish-- I wanna say some where around 8lbs! Hugeness!
Wow Mamma! Huge Fish!! Makes you think twice about dangling your toes off the dock-- these puppies could bite them off!
