Give a Man a Fish...

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." ~ Chinese Proverb

It has been 28 years since Mark and I have gone fishing so this is just as new to us as it is to our kids.  So much has changed from different lures, floaters, weights, the strength of the line...we are really learning a lot.  Armed with 10 fishing poles, 2 parents, 8 kids and an identification book we set out on our newest adventure.  We feel like the best way to learn something new is to totally  immerse yourself to gain as much knowledge as possible.  Tonight we'll be going out again for the 8th time in 10 days.  I think it is safe to say, we found a new hobby.  Below you'll find pictures of the kids first catches and other awesome pictures.

As much fun as it is to fish, you need to learn how to clean them.

I love this picture!
