This was one of those days that you just wish you had your video camera all day. Especially for this scenario. Ryan comes up to Mike mid-morning to tell him that, "it is a beautiful day for fishing. Let's get my Robin Hood out." aka fishing rod. We still aren't sure why he calls it his robin hood. Anyway, after that comment what can you say, but ok, you are right, it is beautiful. Let's go fishing!
So, off to the boat ramp they go with bread as bait and Ryan's robin hood in hand. Right off Ryan gets a bite, but the fish either lets go or something happens because just as quickly his fish is gone. Almost immediately another one comes along and this one sticks. Ryan gets very excited and reels it in, for the most part, by himself. Mike helps at the very end because Ryan is not understanding that you have to pull the rod up some to get the fish out of the water. Well, that should have been our first indication that we needed the video camera and that Ryan didn't really understand what fishing was. As soon as that fish made it to the bank and out of the water Ryan started running as fast as he could the other way shouting, "aaaahhhh, the fish is chasing me!!!!" Scared to death because the fish was coming out of the water after him. If I could have just caught it on video. Well, I had to run and get the still camera, so Gigi had to immediately rescue Ryan from his own fish and show him that this is the point of fishing. Mike and I are trying really hard at this point to contain our laughter. We just never expected this reaction. :)
So, after a few minutes Ryan was interested again in his fish...
Not bad for a first try!!
The first glimpse of, "a fish outta water"
The token "cheese smile" with his catch of the day
First Fish!
