Told my younger daughter Nichole for my Father’s Day gift I wanted her to go fishing with me because it’s been a while since we went together. So yesterday we headed to Henshaw to see if the catfish were still biting. Answer: yes! Still on a tear. Limits for three of us by noon and some dinks thrown back.
Wind came up for a bit and Nichole’s favorite hat blew off into the lake. She lunged for it and nearly fell overboard, and more importantly, was within inches of knocking her IPhone over. Boyfriend Patrick grabbed the net and started to reach out for it as it slowly sank and got further out from the boat. At same time I started to cast my hook at the hat but instead hooked the net Patrick was lunging with, jerking it out of his hand and into the water. Complete YouTube follies stuff as the hat continues to sink. Then I grabbed another rod and managed to cast on the hat and retrieve it.
Had a great time and as usual, Nichole caught the first fish and also the biggest.
I’m done cleaning catfish for a while. Fish fry(s) to come!
