Mid-day Break: Muskie Opener June 7

Saturday was muskie opener, which makes for many many hours on the water in hopes of landing a monster! Our Great Muskie Hunter (a/k/a Daddy) came in for a lunch break between the morning & evening fishing sessions. After a bite to eat, we decided to go out on the pontoon to relax for a few hours.

Abby wanted to bust out the Barbie pole to see if she could land a muskie of her own. (Or a sunny.)

You may not be surprised to learn that she can very clearly say the word "muskie"...and it is almost always preceeded by the descriptor "BIG muskie."

Here Abby & Joe stand at the point looking for some fishies. The bait of choice? Leaves from a nearby tree and cheerios.

GOT ONE!

Grandma helped take all the fishies off the hook.

Abby would give each one a kiss before letting them go.

Abby can reel in by herself.

(not too shabby for a two-year old!)

Here Grandpa is supervising.

She really concentrates while reeling. (even grunts a little with the effort!)

Abby's B/F/F Haley was along for the adventure too!
