Last minute plan to fish today. Walked the neighborhood for worms – found one crusty one on a dry sidewalk. Found the princess fishing rod in garage and practiced how to operate it. Arrive at nearby park with fresh water fish. Cut worm in half and baited up. 1 minute later, worm was eaten but no fish. Baited up other half of worm and tried again. Caught a 6″ floppin slimey active fish!
Realized nobody wanted to actually touch the fish to unhook it. Watched it flop around and go back into the water on its own. Success!! \ud83d\ude42
No more worms. Tried chicken nuggets but the pieces kept falling off the hook; fish didn’t mind the easy food though.<\/p>\n
Lessons re-learned: be spontaneous and have more worms on hand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
