While we able to catch at least a few trout each night, we had one incredible night where all the kids were catching keepers like crazy! It was such a blast. I love to fish, but it was even more of a kick to watch Sela catch her own all by herself. The first couple of nights we fished at the island, Dad was putting the bait on, hooking the fish, and letting Sela and Nina reel them in. Things were so hot this one evening that the kids couldn't wait for Dad to hook them all up and they started taking care of themselves..and they were great at it! Sela caught her own live shrimp in the bucket, put her bait on, caught her own fish and brought it in while one of the other cousins netted it, and vice versa. At one point, the fishing was so good that Kennedy laid her pole down on the pier to help net Sela's fish, and a fish took her bait and pulled her pole in the water. Oh, it was just an absolute blast. Dad had a perma smile across his face all night long as well! He lives for this kind of stuff and seeing the kids have fun. We ended the night with 14 keepers and lots of happy and very exhausted children!
