h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Got a couple dozen worms and went fishing again...

The usual fishing hole was insanely occupied. I think there must have been 20 people fishing there, so we just tried to find another place to fish.

A fishing jetty is like a little penninsula which extends toward the center of the lake. They're great if there is a small hole where fish are hiding.

Fishing holes are literally that. It's a hole in the water where fish end up swimming around. Fish like to take cover as a defensive measure from other fish. It's one of those instincts.

But friday night we weren't on a jetty, we were just on a shoreline, but we found a hole. The catfish were real fighters and I caught two from there. One had really big whiskers, and I caught it in the side. I didn't know that catfish made a sound, but this one did as I tried to hold it, so I could take the hook out of its side. I think we caught a total of nine fish that night.

Saturday morning was a little better, but no catfish. However, my wife caught a very small largemouth bass. Beautiful fish!
I think we caught 7 that morning. One I caught really close to the gills. I hope it's okay.

We returned all the fish to the water. And when it was all done, we paid about $3 for 7 hours of fishing. (the price of 2 dozen worms)

Much cheaper than a movie.
