One is like a rescue and the other is like a stabbing. But the worms wriggled a bit less.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your kind words.. it was indeed a lot of fun.Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629654067597010887.post-60453813215946624772007-09-29T14:54:00.000-04:002007-09-29T14:54:00.000-04:00I kept looking at those first pics while reading t...I kept looking at those first pics while reading the story, and thinking what I was looking at was supposed to be a fish. I was relieved when you said it was driftwood.<BR/><BR/>I think I'd favor unhooking a fish rather than hooking a worm. I don't know why one seems grosser than the other, but fortunately I've had to do neither.<BR/><BR/>Those are awesome pictures on the bottom of the post too. In spite of the worms and small sunfish, I hope it was fun.awannabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13249853324535721772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629654067597010887.post-35577894938407119102007-09-29T00:36:00.000-04:002007-09-29T00:36:00.000-04:00I'm still thinking.

We spent a day at the racetrack, her desire, and a day in a McKenzie float boat with guide on the Potomac River, my desire. Enroute we bought her a fishing license, her first ever. The guide baited a hook and cast it for her, handing her the rod with basic instruction. She caught a rock. Not the fish. The bottom of the river. She watched us for the rest of the fishing day. She tells me that I am the only reason any of our sons ever had a baited hook. ER nursing she'll do, but not impalements.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for the pictures.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629654067597010887.post-47707228921543941652007-09-27T13:57:00.000-04:002007-09-27T13:57:00.000-04:00Baglady,Thanks for dropping by for a visit.

A trip to Texas sounds so lovely one day, but alas.. at this time I have far more pennies than loonies (and no, I don't mean Frank). But if you and Edie keep that invitation open, one day you just might find yourself showing your beautiful part of the world to a couple of Canucks, eh? <BR/><BR/>Thanks also for the kind words about the photos.<BR/><BR/>And I think you might be having your bacon a bit too rare...Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629654067597010887.post-11714338833240957952007-09-27T10:06:00.000-04:002007-09-27T10:06:00.000-04:00Hiya kiddo :)Well, Well, Well!!!! I'm so pleased ...Hiya kiddo :)<BR/><BR/>Well, Well, Well!!!! I'm so pleased to see that you finally got past the city limit signs and enjoyed a bit of nature and creation. We're gonna have to pool our pennies and loonies and get you and Frank down here to West Texas so I can take you sight seeing and fishing on the Pecos and Rio Grande rivers and Lake Amistad. Not too many beautiful trees, but plenty of rugged canyon walls, wildlife, and desert type vegetation that have their own beauty.<BR/>I agree with Tink .. you seem to have that "ability" with a camera that many of us can only dream about .. :)<BR/>Hmmmm .. bacon might not squirm, but it sure does squeal quite loudly when ya stick a hook in it!!<BR/>Hugglezzzzzzz .....

I've never considered entering my photos anywhere but here, on the blog. I really don't know what I'm doing yet but I have occasional luck, a decent camera and a large memory card on my side. That produces a decent photo every so often.<BR/><BR/>Now I could easily handle putting bacon on the hook. Last time I checked, bacon doesn't squirm.Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629654067597010887.post-11124878581888764922007-09-27T08:42:00.000-04:002007-09-27T08:42:00.000-04:00BEAUTIFUL photos.

Have you considered entering the Smithsonian contest? If you don't know what I'm talking about, email me: twstdtink@yahoo.com<BR/><BR/>I'm a city girl too. So the idea of actually taking my own fish off the line makes me shudder. I've gotten to the point where I can bait my own hook though! Unfortunately, the worm almost never stays on. So I moved on to raw bacon. Less messy and the fish LOVE it.Tinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16188363142469404823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629654067597010887.post-32346308341655375772007-09-26T20:59:00.000-04:002007-09-26T20:59:00.000-04:00For a rank beginner, you did...not exactly "well" ...For a rank beginner, you did...not exactly "well" but...um...lemme think about it a bit and get back to you.<BR/><BR/>;)<BR/><BR/>Great pics! :)Frank Baronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07766219281485749395noreply@blogger.com
