Our 4th of July

On the 3rd Dave did not feel well at all. We stuck close to home. On the 4th, we looked up events in the area, and decided to just head down to Newburyport to take a walk at the shopping section. We finally loaded into the car, got around the block, and .... came back. So Kerri and Liam made a run to Walmart. In the area of fishing supplies, there was no shortage of young guys to acquire advice from. We left the store well equipped. Say... did you know they even sell LIVE worms at WalMart?!?! Amazing! Dave was feeling just a bit better by the time we got home. With net, pole, tackle supplies, and bucket, David, Kerri, and Liam walked down to the local pond. I am proud to report that 2 fish were caught! They were "this big!" We had a tape measure with us. The first fish seemed to be a Sunfish with red spots on the fins. It was 4.5 inches long. The second Sunfish was 5 inches without the red spots. Maybe that means one was male and one was female. So we had some fun together. And I give you 3 guesses as to who was put in charge of all of the following: Grabbing the worm from the bait container, cutting the worm to an appropriate size, putting it on a hook, handling the fish, and removing the hook from fish. : )
