Fishing and Workout Results

Wow. Check out the pictures below. This past weekend, Dylan wanted to get a Batman Shakespeare Fishing Rod set. Being a good boy, we went ahead (it was $15, so no biggie). Picked up a kid's set of lures and such, and went fishing on Sunday. He was really excited just to be out there and was making some good casts. Stupid me, I suggested/told him to work the worm, but all he wanted to do was reel it in really fast. Well, we moved so that we were at the narrow end of the pond and was casting out. Dylan wanted to go, so I was reeling in very fast. POW! A good sized perch hit on the hook right at the weed line and Dylan freaked out. Well, I forced a few pictures, then we went home.

Tonight, we went out around 6:45 or so and just wanted to cast a few. Dylan was really wanting to just try it again, so I got a good cast out for him, and he started reeling in a bit fast. BOOM! A fourteen inch bass hits the line and he starts grunting. I finally see a flash and he starts freaking out again. I try to keep him excited and he is until, after reeling the fish in, the fish flops off the hook and and is "dancing around" on the grass. I'm able to catch a few more bass, and the second one, he poses for, resulting in the best picture.




FYI, the equipment was a Batman rod/reel combo, chartreuse jig head, and a chartreuse grub worm.

Same day we bought Dylan's rod and reel, I purchased some Adidas running shoes. Brand new, I only paid....$19.99!!! No box, but sometimes Academy has some really good deals. They've really worked out the last few days, just really squisy and supportive. I've picked up the pace with a bit of running. I'm almost getting frustrated by the plateau of weight loss, but I've noticed a physical difference in my appearance. Having talked with some others who work out, they claim this is normal. We'll see.

That's all for now. Hope all of you guys are doing well. Peanut festival is this weekend, so that's we're I'll be some of the time. I'm also looking for a birthday gift for Renee, so if you have suggestions, I'm listening.

Cheers,

David
