The BIG one!


We have a couple ponds on our property which they boys take special delight in. They wade, canoe and generally muck around...but their favorite thing to do is FISH. Well today was a very big day because Levi, our youngest, caught a HUGE large-mouth bass. At least it is huge to us. :) They said they've seen it but could never convince it to bite. Daddy is away but heard all about it on the phone tonight and he requested that we put up some pictures on the blog. They aren't the greatest...being snapped off in all the excitement...but you will get the idea. :) After all the picture taking, they quickly let it go back into the pond. We are vegetarian. :)




Here is Levi, the big fisherman, with his catch. Silas was our camera man.

That is a fish story that will be told for days! I know your boys were thrilled. How fun to have ponds on your property.

When they said it was "this" big - imagine little boy with arms outstretched - I kind of doubted it. What a thrill it was for them to reel in that one. I say them because he called for help from his brothers.

When we told the boys we were leaving ID, we asked them what would soften the blow...they said to have a place with a pond. We saw SO many properties that were great - no pond though. We asked the Lord to give this to the boys...and He did. :)

WoW!!! What a fish!!! I've never caught a bass that big. I kind of doubted the existence of the rumored "big one" but, you can't argue with a picture. Good job Levi! Wish I could have been there.
