Big Fish



Robert and the guys went fishing on the Snake River yesterday. It was a 7 hour catch & release type of trip. They had a blast despite the 100* temps. The river had bass, rainbow trout and sturgeon. Justin caught the largest bass and some trout. Marlin caught bass and trout, and Scott caught bass and trout. Robert caught all 3. He was the only one on the boat to catch a sturgeon. It was 6 feet long and weighed 100 pounds. He didn't get to keep it though. Bummer. It would have tasted great smoked! They had a great "fish" story too. Scott was reeling a line back in and it was stuck. He was jerking the pole hard (oh man...that sounds nasty) and he leaned back against the rail....but there was no rail there....and he fell into the river....hat, pole and all. He lost his hat and the pole. But they saved Scotty! From what I hear, he was none too happy about his dip in the river. Mostly because he lost the fishing pole. Doesn't sound like he will have to pay for it though. Just before they started to leave that area, Capt Bart said "Hey...isn't that your hat?" So he grabbed a pole and fished out Scott's hat! All in all....the boys had a great day!

Jody, Cindy and I spent the day in McCall. We shopped and had some lunch. Then we went back to a bead and pottery shop and we all made bracelets. Well...they made watch bands, I made a bracelet. All three turned out really cute. Mine is silver and turquoise. Jody's is black and brown stones in squares, rectangles and ovals. And Cindy's is super cute with silver, green stones and green frogs. I will upload photos of those tomorrow since I still have those on my camera.

Today we are just relaxing. Some might go back into town. I think I just want to hang out here and go sit by the lake!
