I pinched a worm

Chris took me fishing for my first time on Friday.

He caught fish like this. He is a really good fisherman by the way.


I caught fish like this. It was an albino trout (look at his red eyes) I didn't want him to slip out of my hands so I squeezed him. Apparently they die if you squeeze them too tight. I tossed him in he wiggled sank and died. I felt bad. We were supposed to be fishing catch and release. I did that, just added an extra step, squeeze til they die. I also look like a nerd in my cheap $4.97 fishing glasses (I'm not going to loose my nice ones) and Chris' fishing hat. No sunburn today.


Nice view eh? I actually had a big monster fish bite on a spinner and "reeled him all the way in" until at the last second he decided he was not coming ashore that day.


Chris caught another good one (about seven in all) and it jumped off the hook into our tackle bag. I learned how to pinch a nightcrawler in two and bait him on a hook. Good times.

Looks like fun, Daniel isn't a fan of fishing so maybe the two of you can take Aaron for us.

Way to go Lobster, for playing it safe in the sun's rays!! I really enjoy fishing. I hope you liked it...and I hope you don't squeeze more innocent fish to death

I don't think his eye's were red from fishing, they were responding to "the squeeze" heehee...
Looks like a good time was had by all (except the fish).
