James’ new love in life is fishing. He lives to fish. He is always learning something new about fish. We can’t go to a store without looking for the fishing aisle. When he spends his money, we head to Sportsman Warehouse. He lives & breathes to fish.

A couple Saturdays back, Gramma made his dreams come true… she took him fishing! They had gone before to a local lake without much luck.. This time Gramma did her research and found a stocked trout pond where kids are sure to catch some fish… 7 trout to be exact.

The weather was cold and rainy, though it didn’t stop James from jumping into his fishing gear. He packed a sack lunch for he and Gramma, a blanket for a picnic, rain-gear, 3 of his poles & his tackle box. However this pond was ready for even the most novice fisher-person. They provided poles, buckets, tools, etc.

They even clean the fish for you… so you can head home for a fish fry. Unless of course you are James. He allowed the people to clean the fish guts out, though he asked that they leave the heads on. he wanted to cut those off himself.

Once they arrived back to our house, it was time to ‘science’ the fish. Gramma had to jump in and help. Together they cut off heads, inspected the fish inside & out, then bagged up the heads & bodies into separate bags to store for later viewing & ‘science-ing”.

Thanks for taking James fishing, Gramma! It was a perfect day!
