Once again Will and Joel got up early and went fishing. Jake stayed behind ex hasted from all the fish he caught the day before! The guys decided to have their own little bass tournament so Jake made a poster to hang on the fridge and placed tally marks every time someone caught a bass. The total count at the end of the first day was...
Jake 20 1/2
Grandpa 9
Dad 14 1/2
Mom 8
How can you catch 1/2 of a bass you ask? Well, Jake had the bass on his line and it snapped. A little while later Will caught the same bass. It actually had Jake's leader and worm dangling out of it's mouth. So, they split that one!
The rest of us stayed back at the cabin and enjoyed the morning while the guys fished. Once again the weather was gorgeous and we had a great time just watching the kids enjoying themselves. I took the little boys for a walk and found some firewood. Tony was ex hasted and slept till like 11:30 that day. I think that is the latest I have ever seen him sleep!
Fishing was great once again that evening and by the time we came in from fishing we had 2 hours of cleaning to do at the fish house. We had a fire and cooked s'mores. It was a really nice night.
The total bass count for Day 2...
Jake 10
Grandpa 20
Dad 2
Mom 3
The bluegill fishing was amazing and we caught 122 fish in 2 days. And that is just what we cleaned! We threw 10 times as many back into the lake. I don't remember the fishing ever being this great. It was only the second full day and we were ready to have a fish fry!

If you get any goofy,unusually shaped veggies, you can just bring them in on the day of judging. I think it is usually the second Wed. -- check the premium book just in case. The kids and I kicked ourselves for not bringing in our "foot" potatoes one year. We didn't think they would compete well, but it was a lame year, and we probably would have won something.
