9-20-2010 Carp Cred.

Finally.....5 long years after we moved here....Charlie caught his 1st carp! I've never seen him so excited in my life!

He used corn as the bait. He'd tried many different baits, hooks, and lines for months before finally having success with plain old corn.

Shortly after catching the fish, Charlie and Luke needed to leave to go to Luke's introductory meeting for cub scouts. Of course, nothing they talked about or did there was going to compare to the thrill we'd just had down at our very own dock. Luke looked at Charlie during the meeting and said, "Let's go Dad. This is boring." Guess we won't be having a cub scout in the family this year.
