Darin's proud moment this summer...after 7 long year!

After 7 long years.....we stocked the pond, fished in it all these years. Only caught brim and catfish (and some large ones at that)........but never caught any bass. We thought they were all eaten or they washed over the dam. The first year we moved in...we stocked it and then a flood came and the water got so high, it washed over the dam. But finally......it happened. What he had been fishing for, trying so hard to not give up...........then the water exploided. It flew out of the water and champed his bait...............Darin could not believe it. The first bass to be caught out of our pond. Here it is.........

Then guess what happens.........that same fish again. Oh, there have been other small ones. But we're beginning to believe that fish wants out of that pond. This time my niece Taylor caughts it (with Uncle Darin's help of course)....Eric, Christoper and Ryan Estes were there also.
