Some good friends of ours here in Paso gave Carolyn & Cameron fishing poles (the real deal - no pun intended) for their 3rd birthdays! They would cast in the backyard and "fish"off the balcony catching dum-dum suckers once in a while. And they would cross lines A LOT and tangle their lines A LOT! So after a year of practice we were able to take them fishing. (Brett was conveniently at work :)) This is Larry helping Carolyn take her first fish off. Look at her hands!
Cameron and Carolyn caught about 6 or 7 fish each and they started catching them as soon as they got their worms in the water! It was a great day! This is Cameron's last fish, his 2nd bass and biggest fish of the day! (I got to help reel it in with him!)
On the first bass Cameron caught, Larry had told him he needed to kiss it. That almost made Cameron not want to go fishing! So Larry kissed it! (And you wonder why Brett was at work!) Cameron was pretty glad he wasn't doing the kissing!
This is Carolyn's first fish! A bluegill! She started off fishing with Kathy, Larry's wife, (who has an amazing cast for someone who says they don't like to fish!) but when Cameron caught a fish with Larry right away, Carolyn decided that Kathy wasn't good enough so she planted herself in Larry's lap and never moved!
This was Cameron's first fish! Larry had to do all the "taking off of the fish" and releasing them... but I did put the nightcrawlers on the hook! (But I would only use the ones that Larry had already ripped in half!)-October 30, 2009

This is so great! What good memories this will be for them cause they have the pictures. They actually might not remember their first fishing trip at all.
So cool!! Larry cracks me up! Looks like a totally fun day was had by all. What a great experience for your kids. Monty took the boys out once. All the lines were tangled in one minute and he got mad and came home!!:) Looks like your kids had more fun! Love the pics!
