Gone a fishin'

Jared and his buddy got word of a discounted sturgeon fishing charter, for a half-day on March 20th. Discounted so much so that Jared could take Jake, who has never been sturgeon fishing before. And that's what they did the Saturday before spring break officially began.

They fished out of Oregon City on the Willamette River. Jake was the last one to catch a fish. (His friend joined his dad, too). Jake admits he didn't set the hook (Jared did) but Jake got to reel it in. It was tough, he reports, but he made it! It was 24 inches long. Not a keeper, but fun enough! It was a wiggler, too! (Wait until you catch a salmon, kid).


He caught one more. This time it was 26 inches long. Took Jake about 5 minutes to reel in. He tried to set the hook, but he didn't want to lose it, so he said "let the professional do it", meaning the guide, not Jared ;)

Hey Grandpas...look what I can do!
