Gone fishin

Anyone who knows my DH knows he is a very avid fisherman. So when the time finally came that he got to go fishing for the first time this year (all his ponds had been frozen til recently) he was more than excited. You could see in his eyes that he was just itching to go up to his dad's, do some fishing and show off and shoot his new gun. We get up there and he shows his dad the gun, they both fire it off a few times (out in the country, nobody around). Then me, DH, his dad and stepmom all load up on the 4-wheelers and go across the highway to this pond that only his dad (and whoever's with him) has access to. It was kinda gray and windy that day, but not terribly cold. Good cold water fishing. Well his stepmom starts off by catching a couple of crappie, then I catch a bluegill and a crappie. His dad caught a small bass and a couple of crappie. All this time DH has not caught a single fish yet. I am just shaking my head in disbelief because DH is really a very good fisherman, and I am skunking him! So his dad and stepmom decide it's getting a little chilly for them and head back to their house, while DH and I stay a little longer. I caught 3 more crappie and a bass, while DH only caught 4 small crappie the whole time. Couldn't believe it. At least he was a good sport about it. :)

We had such a great day. Both of us had some major cabin fever and needed to get out of the city in a bad way. Going fishing is like therapy for us, it's so quiet up there, we don't have to deal with stupid people, and we really get to have quality time with each other. It was so nice to get away, even just for the day. :)
