R.J.'S First Catfish

RJ has finally met his fishing goal. All last summer he wanted to catch a catfish. Well he got his first one this past Saturday. It was quite a big fish, 20 1/2 " long and is now sitting in the freezer waiting to be fried up and eaten. I am so proud of him and he was quite proud of himself that day.

Look at the bend in that pole.



Please take the picture, already!



It was quite funny, he wouldn't hold it with his hands or kiss his first "catch", so putting it on a stringer and having him hold it was a close as we could do.
Hurry Up Dad!



Yep, it is still there. Just making sure.



The kids decided to name him "Tom the catfish", later on.



Here are all of the "group" watching from the deck as we cleaned the fish from that day.
