Fishing is a fun sport!! I love it and it is a sport that I can actually take part in. I like may sports and can really remember how much I loved to play some of them. This is a sport that fits me well. I can sit and relax all day (if I want) and just enjoy the sun on my face and spend the time with my husband. He's the real fisherman, though. Anyway: Jon and I were invited by his nephew, Paul, and his wife, Mel, to go with them to their pond in southern Indiana and fish. It's a two hour drive to their pond; so, we stop at a little bait shop/filling station/food mart for breakfast, just before embarking on fish. They have the most awesome biscuit/egg and bacon sandwiches. Of course, we get a couple pickle loaf sandwiches to eat afterward on the way home. They always pick a perfect day as far as the weather is concerned. Jon caught several bass; but, kept just 2 of them. They were both over 17 inches long. I caught 12 bluegill. We didn't keep track of the amount that they caught. But; it was just as nice a mess as we had. These aren't your common lake bluegill that we are used to catching. They were Georgia Giants! The guys stocked the pond last year and the year before with these hybrids. We packed them on ice to travel home; then, cleaned them on the tailgate of the pickup after we got home. We are planning a fish fry!! Do you think that anyone will help us eat them?
