Fishin' in a bathtub

There is a lake....well, a man-made lakeish pondish bathtub type hole in the ground filled with water on the hill behind 'Dandaddy's' house in the neighbor's yard. The neighbor has stocked this pond with 1,400 pounds of trout, some bass, some blue gill, some catfish, and some coy fish. We fished for about 5 hours and between me, Zach, and Kevin we caught about 3 dozen fish!!! Zach caught two golden trout, some bass and several rainbow trout. Kevin caught several rainbow trout and some bass, and I caught about 3 rainbow trout and 2 small bass. They were jumping like crazy all afternoon and not a one was under 15 inches. They were fat suckers and reallllllllyyyyy slimey.



First fish of the day...



Zach's first golden trout.



Me with a huge trout...probably 18 inches close to 3 lbs.



Zach caught this one with a fly-rod. By far the biggest trout EVER caught on a fly-rod.



Okay here it is the 20 inch 4 lb golden trout!!! Unreal! This is the biggest trout Zach has ever caught and its a golden one. If you look close you can see the Panther Martin spinner laying there, compliments of my dad. He told Zach it was the best thing he has ever used for trout fishing and he wasn't lying!



This is another picture of the big goldie. This fish was huge! It was the last fish caught that day...what a great way to end. If you look close it looks like he's eating me.

Wow! Cass, I hope you know how to prepare and fry fish, because it looks like you're going to be doing a lot of that, being married to Zach!

So glad to hear about your acceptance to the MFT program, Zach. Maybe now we'll get to see you and maybe even meet your lovely wife!
