I would like to announce to the world that I caught my first rainbow trout today! I not only caught one fish, but three of them!
My daughter was there, and can witness that I really did catch them myself. There was a young dad at the lake with his son, who kindly helped me remove the hook from the first two, but I did the third one myself.
The lake was recently stocked, so they were all pulled out in the first hour. During the last half hour my line got pulled really hard three different times and it was exciting, but those fish got loose.
This is me sitting in front of a dinner of rice, broccoli, rainbow trout and lemonade:
Here's Joe and my daughter getting ready to dig in. Sarah cooked the rice and prepared the fish with herbs. Then she wrapped them in foil and grilled them for us.
This is what they looked like after I cleaned them (kind of gross I know):
They weren't big but we all agreed that they had a good amount of meat on them. This is them, just before I cleaned them. They were a little creepy to look at until they were 'processed'. After that they were just 'meat' and Sarah had no problem cooking them up for us.
I've got the fishing bug now that I've caught something. I'll be going back again! Hooray for the 'great white hunter' Hee Hee.

Hooray!!! That's so awesome!! Those are definitely some decent sized fish - way to catch your own dinner! :)
The dinner was exquisite, trout ala amazing. Thanks to Lesa and Sarah for sharing their fishing success.
Way to go Lesa! You and Kim may be the "fisherwomen" in the family!
Nothing better then fresh Trout! Thank goodness, my neighbor keeps me supplied in Trout! I get mine the easy way! haha
