Fishing...............need I say more?

I love to fish. I do dream of one day owning my own boat, and spending even more of my already wonderful summers, springs, and everything in between at the lake. I love to fish. I am a mother of 4 very busy children, and when I go fishing, its just me and the fish!.. I love it. I love it like my husband loves hunting, so I do have some understanding of his obsession. And he has to understand my wanting to go. My family joins me very often, and watching a child learn to bait their own hook, cast and reel in a fish is one of the most awesome things a parent can watch. We also catch up on whats up in their lives, and get a great deal of laughs, esp when I think I have to walk down in the lake to get a better grip on Charlie , our local snapping turtle, who loves to steal bait, bobbers, and drive me NUTS! This crappie caught in our pond behind the house, measured at 16 1/2 inches, weighed little over 3 lbs. I love to fish.
