A Day of Great Fishing

The catfish finally got big enough, so it's off for a day of fun at the pond.

Mason spent most of the morning catching grasshoppers (for bait) with his net.

Grandpa helped Madeline reel in a really big fish with his rod and reel

.....but

she prefers fishing with her Dora Explorer!

The family watches as Mason catches his first fish!

After Grandpa gave Mason a few pointers

on how to take his fish off the hook,

Mason shows off his "trophy" to Bentley!

After a great day of fishing, Mason throws them back for another day!
