Life On The Water Part 1 (of 100's)
There is a little story behind the half of a fishing pole that Drake is holding over his 'biggest catch' ever....
Arriving for the first time at the Labelle municipal dock, was in itself quite the accomplishment! (more on this in a later post). As soon as our dock lines were all secured, and we were hooked up to shore power, Drake was fishing away. After about 2 minutes he comes to us with a missing hook and tells us about the HUGE catfish that stole it. Although he was a bit frustrated, he immediately put on new hook & bait and tossed it over the side. Not 2 minutes went by and he is back with the same plight.... You get the picture :-) Finally, we here a bunch of chaos on the dock, and the dang thing has not only stolen the line yet again, but the hole pole is broken in half!!! Now the fight is really on!!!! Next thing you know a very stubborn boy is out there, now with 60 pound line and an even bigger hook. Finally, after only a couple short minutes he has caught the "biggest fish of his life, at an astounding 24". We cannot wait for him to reel in his first tuna :-)
Hugo happened to be driving by on his way home, and was there to help the boys remove the hook. Drake was really proud to be providing dinner for his family!
