Paddlefish

 

Bob's fish was too small & too big.


First Paddlefish of the day. Too small.
Joe's keeper 34 1/2 " long from eye to fork in tail.
Joe & his two keepers.
Joe & Dad went snagging for Paddlefish up at Gavin's Point while Brad & Kyle tagged along. The snagged gar, catfish, carp and paddlefish. Joe snagged 3 Paddlefish in all. One was too small, one was too big and the third was just right. You can't keep a Paddlefish that is between 35" & 45" from the eye to the fork in the tail. Dad's Paddlefish was 40" long, so he had to let it go. They all had fun and we enjoyed Joe's Paddlefish, which Joe cooked for our Sunday meal.

Halloween






 
 











We had another fun and successful Halloween. Brad & Kyle carved their own pumpkins while William & Matt cleaned and designed their while Joe & Janette helped carve them. Janette then cooked the pumpkin seeds which tasted like chex mix. They were yummy!

Brad & William were knights, Kyle was a ninja, Matt was Scooby-Doo, & Emily was a pumpkin. Janette stayed home with Emily and handed out candy while Joe took the boys around the neighborhood. They started around 6:30 and ended around 8:30 while stopping at home once to empty their bags. They all came home with lots of candy. Brad weighed his bag and it weighed a little over 7 lbs. The boys were happy with their haul and they think it is going to last until Christmas.
