One Big Fish

First I have to say I really didn't forget Easter....I forgot my camera at my Grandma's! So, until I can recover those wonderful pictures of all our Easter fun, I thought I'd share Donovan's latest catch with ya'll. A few weeks ago, Donovan and his Dad loaded up and headed to the river to try snagging a Paddlefish (aka Spoonbill around here). After a long drive and lots of time on the river, Donovan caught himself a big one! I have to say that I LOVE spoonbill...it's so good....but it is one of the ugliest fish I think that he has brought home! This wasn't our first catch of this type of fish, but it never ceases to amaze me how strange looking they are. The kids were amazed at how big it was. Ian really wanted to hold it but it was longer than he is tall and weighed as much as him too! So, he settled for taking a picture with Dad's big fish...Trevor didn't want anything to do with trying to hold it and was perfectly happy watching from a distance. Well now we have about 30lbs. of filets to eat and need someone to help us eat it all! Fish fry, anyone??

One strange looking fish.....at least the guy is cute! LOL See is is big enough to ride!! What a goober....:-P
Ian couldn't hold the weight of the fish so he settled for the tail :-)
I have to stick my hand where???
It's hard to tell on here but the tail was touching the ground...that was a big fish!
