Memorial Day Fishing!

For Memorial Day chet and I went fishing out at Burraston Ponds. We packed up a picnic lunch and headed out to the pond. We had tons of fun after about half hour of sitting there I got a bite on my line and by the feeling of the fight he felt like a big sucker. I got him into shore and low and behold he was a BIG SUCKER. He was about a 15 lb Carp. Yup I caught a Huge Garbage fish Algea Eater. And he is the biggest fish I have ever caught. We named him Fred and we decided to play with him for a while and keep him alive.

Here I am as I just got Fred reeled in and onto the shore to check out his size.

Thats one big Carp.

He was really heavy. But I was proud.

MEET FRED THE CARP!

Getting ready to take the hook out of his mouth.

Oh wait we paused for a couple more pictures.

Fred and Hailee

After we got the hook out of his mouth we didnt want to just put him back into the pond because of how the hook was hooked into his mouth. So our good friends Adam and Andie Young have a pond in their back yard and they werent home at the time so guess where we decided to take fred and let him live!

Yup you guessed it we let him live with the goldfish. Here is chet carryin Fred to his new home.

Chet letting Fred loose into the pond.

You cant hardly see him but Fred headed to the most algea covered corner in the pond and latched onto the side. He is in the top left corner of the picture.

Fred played in the pond for about 2 weeks until he got really bored and Jumped out of the pond (as we are told) and couldnt make it back in!
