I caught a bush

Today hubby, dad and I went fishing in Alma again. We have been having a lot of fun out there. I have to say I am a little bit frustraited at my lack of catching any fish. Lets see what did I catch today and I honestly will say I wasn’t sure if I should laugh or cry with all the fighting I did to pull it in. I was working so hard I thought my pool just might break on me. I let it go and reeled in some more, and boy was it hard, so hubby told dad I am not going to help her and got the stupid net because he was thinking I got something big and would need help because boy it was fighting like nothing else. My first catch of the day was a big fish lure, No not a fish but a lure and a bunch of zebra mussles and line that was broken. I have to admit it kindof ticked me off. I guess hubby didn’t need his net to help me out because the lure was a really tiny fish with no life signs. If it could speak it would have said “fooled ya.” Hubby said he wanted me to have the accomplishment of catching my first MN fish in a river.
So after a while of losing my worms or mino I decided to go and try the shallow water. Well I cast and waited all the sudden I felt a tug so I said finally I got something . So once again I am reeling and letting go, reeling and I finally get my catch that wasn’t as hard as the last fake catch. I pulled out a tiny bush type branch, So I brought it over to dad and my husband and said seee what I am catching. I caught a branch! and a Lure! The joke on me today.
Before this summers over we’d like to go to the beginning of the Mississippi River, here a few hours away maybe by then I will learn how to fish better. It’s about a 4 hour drive from us maybe. maybe I should see if Stratosphere hotel is a chain type hotel because we know casinos sometimes have great rates if your playing a little bit there.
Dad managed to catch 3 fish and 1 on hubby’s reel, and hubby got 1 baby fish. I got nothing, better not count on me for dinner
