here fishy fishy fishy...

aaron and i went fishing this weekend on little bass lake. our friends george and karen have a cabin up there.

our plan was to learn how to fish so that we could get a few good meals out of the boundary waters when we go in two weeks. george was a great teacher, even though i'm sure i was a disappointing pupil, since i wasn't willing to clean my own fish (sorry george).

[just to get it on the record, every time i've touched the body of another animal in any way not related to petting or loving them, i have fainted. so my goal is to work my way up slowly by watching aaron do it a few times, just to avoid the faint factor.]

well we had a marvelous weekend. aaron and i went out on sunday afternoon alone to see if we were capable of finding a few fish without george the master in the boat. and we did. aaron caught a nicely sized bass and had fun getting it off the hook and back out of the boat. hope that guy will survive after his ordeal.

all in all, we are ready on the fishing side of things for our bwcaw trip and i'm excited to take a big bite out of our first wilderness fish in about two weeks. pass the lemon!
