Brennan's First Fish

Well, you all know that Brennan got a Rocket Fishing Rod for his birthday. He finally got a chance to try it out this weekend. Our friend Brian took us fishing at a private pond, so of course it was just us and a ton of fun. Brennan got so excited, Brian rigged up his pole for him with a live worm and Brennan shot it out there. It wasn't quite where he wanted it so he reeled it back in real quick and shot again. It wasn't in the water for about 30 seconds when he got a nibble, Ryan helped him hook the fish and then Brennan reeled it in. He caught a small mouth bass, it was probably about 1-2 lbs or so, it was a decent size, but Brennan didn't want anything to do with the fish. He was quite scared to even stand near it, let alone touch it. Unfortunately for me, my camera ran out of battery right as he was ready to pose, I had new batteries, but we didn't want the fish to die so we released him. We did however, snag a photo or two with Brian's camera, so I will post them as soon as I get them. After that Brennan really had no interest in fishing anymore so he told his dad to let him know when he caught a fish and he would come reel it in for him. Here are some other photos I took throughout our excursion. The pic with a fish in it is one of the many Brian caught. Ryan and I had several bites but just couldn't catch em. Thanks Brian for a fun afternoon. We'll catch more next time!
