Fishing Fun

Labor Day weekend we had a visit from Jon's parents. It's a family tradition to go fishing in September when dad Hamilton comes out to do law school interviews. Although we originally planned to stay at the cabin Friday night, we delayed our plans in order to attend the temple where our cousin went through for his endowment. It was fun to go through the temple with our family since we hadn't ever done that before.

Getting up extremely early on Saturday morning, we packed up the cars and headed out to Strawberry Reservoir. We got out on the lake and immediately started catching fish. By 3 in the afternoon we had already caught 59 fish. At that point I was tired and David and Aimee wanted to see the BYU football game. We were dropped off at the pier and Jon and his parents kept on fishing. By the end of the day the total was up to 72.

Holding my fish, it cut up my fingers pretty badly, stupid cut throat.

That was the storm that blew in and drenched us.

What do you think we do with the fish when they die? Flush them down the toilet?
