Fishy

We decided that if it was calm when we woke up on Friday, we would focus on getting some fish for the freezer. While we didn't break any records for the largest fish ever caught, fish we did managed to catch, In fact after about an hour, Bryant and I had 4 fish in the box, and we were wishing we hadn't kept the first two smaller fish. Seeing as we had a pretty hot halibut bite, we begged the kids to come out of the cabin and catch some more, but they didn't want to.


Instead, the kids decided to wait until we reached the Jakalof Public Dock to begin their fishing expedition. With their short little ice fishing rods, reels, hook, and a piece of herring, they spent hours that evening catching and releasing cod, and of course a little crying and arguing over who caught whose big fish. At one point, I couldn't help it; I had to remind them that their chance to catch the "big fish" was a few hours back. They said halibut fishing wasn't much fun. Now that sounds fishy to me!
