Today we had a blast!! Yesterday we hit the yard and gathered about a half gallon of worms. This morning we loaded up fishing supplies, food and 2 jugs of water. Then we headed for the lake where it joins the river. We got there and with all the pouring rain yesterday the water was WAY up and our normal fishing area was underwater. The water was also really muddy and swift. The wind was blowing and it was kinda cool out. We started to go right back home, but since I had driven all the way out there I didn't want to just turn around and make it a dry run. I couldn't even get the car down there and had to park out by the road. So I forced the kids to get out and we waded through mud down to the water and set out our poles. Within a few minutes DD caught a drum. One of the kids needed a pole set up so I handed my pole to youngest(4) DD and told her to hold it. A minute later she told me there was a fish on it. I looked over and she was fine and the pole was still. I told her no there wasn't and to keep holding it. Well a few seconds later she called me again and there was a fish on it. I ran over there and got the pole from her as it doubled over! I caught a catfish around 4 or 5 lbs! I was so shocked. That was the biggest catfish I'd caught in a loooong time! Well we set everyones pole up for catfish and we ended up catching 6 huge catfish. The first one was one of the smallest. A guy who lives near came down to watch us catching catfish! He said he'd never seen anyone catching catfish that size and as fast as we were. I caught 3 youngest DD caught 1(with help) and ds caught 2 of the biggest and middle DD caught a drum and a carp. She lost 2 fish. One broke her line as we almost had it in the the other tangled in brush and got away. The guy who came down to watch bought the rest of the worms from the kids. All together we brought in about 45 lbs of fish! Seriously it was great! God does answer prayers!!!
