So I joined the Inland Northwest Garden Railway Society this Saturday. While at the club meeting I got to meet a few people that are also on this site. I had to leave early though to go on a date with my daughter.
She missed prom Saturday because her and her boyfriend broke up a week and a half before prom. So to ease the pain a bit she wanted her dad to take her fishing. Well as much as I love trains nothing beats fishing (or my daughter). So we headed out to a local lake (Hayden) to do some pike fishing. It was slow but she caught her first pike, 13# 32" long. Up to this point the biggest fish she has caught has been about a 2.5-3# bass. So this was way more fish than she was used to but she handled it like a champ and did just what her dad told her to get it into the boat. I ate a big slab of it yesterday for dinner and it is sure good.
