Fishing on Father's Day

We went out to my dad's place on Sunday for Father's Day. We were hanging out. Dad had bought some hamburgers and hot dogs and I cooked them on his grill. They were great. My Sister, Jessica, was there. After diner the kids asked Dad to take us out on his boat. We grabbed some fishing rods, just in case, and headed out the back door to his boat slip.

Dad has a nice boat but we put too many people on it. It started taking on too much water. So we headed back to the dock. Jessica had to get going anyway so Nancy & Her went back up to the house and Dad took the kids and I out to an Island he likes to picnic at.

After that, we headed across the cove and dropped our lines in the water for a little fishing. We really did not expect to catch anything.

After just a few minutes Adam's bobber goes down and I am giving him a crash course in bringing in a fish. This was his first time fishing. We brought in the fish and it was too small to keep. Unfortunately, the fish had swallowed the hook and he probably died after we put him back in the water.

The second one came with our last minnow. It was almost big enough to keep but it wasn't worth it since we only had one and these small LMBs are hard to clean and fillet. Here are some pictures we took with my iPhone:
