Fishing

On Saturday we had beautiful weather, perfect for fishing on the fjørd! We picked up our friend Halvor and headed to the edge of town. View from a cove.
Getting the lines ready.
There were so many mussels, which we would have been tempted to take if Jeff hadn't caught a fish.
Showing Avery the ropes.

Reeling in a fish. At first Jeff thought he had lost another lure (he had lost two already) he even cussed out his luck until Halvor said he thought he had a fish.
View off the pier.
Jeff grabbing Halvor's fish. The pier was pretty high off the water so when a fish was caught the catcher would pull it over to the side where the other man waited to grab it and take it off the hook.
Halvor's first fish, he ended up catching two.
Jeff's first cod. This guy was a monster compared to what we are used to catching in Montana.
Victory!! We ate this guy for dinner last night and have enough for another meal. He was very tasty ;) Good job Jeff I can't wait to get out fishing again!

Awesome catch Jeff! What a fish! Ryley went finshing with your Mom and Dave on Saturday too, out at Willow Creek and he reeled in a 5.25lb trout, he was stoked!
