First Fish!

After rehearsal today I put a few lines in the water with Blu while our ladies talked idly by. We had been relaxing for a half hour when I had the idea to get ice cream. Everyone liked the idea and a plan was made. I cast my line out one last time before we were to head out.

I had wasted a nibble earlier. The novice fisher in me reeled in a quickly as possible instead of letting the fish take the hook. This time when I go the nibble I was patient. Possibly too patient, as Blu and The One yelled at me to reel the fish in.

I just saw the bobber go down and thought it was just nibbling. Apparently if it goes down in the water for more than just a dip it is a bite. I was so excited I did not know what to do. Finally I started to reel it in. The One warned me not to snap my line. I wanted to reel it all the way to the top, which I was told I was wrong. I got it close enough that I was told to take it out of the water.

There it was. A little catfish. I was so excited; the little kid inside of me was giddier than could be.

Until tomorrow, may you catch what you are looking for.
