FiSH AnyONe?

In June we decided go camping and fishing with the kids, we went up to knoll Lake. The kids were all excited to go fishing. Marlise and Cameron were making bets to see who caught the first fish. Marlise ended up catching the first fish, right after that Cameron got one, David got one and then Mark caught two and we got lots of snags(I think we smelled good to them). Mark told them after you catch a fish, you have to kiss the first one you catch as a tradition in our family. Of course our kids didn't want to kiss them, they didn't even want to be that close to them. They didn't want to keep them to eat, so they would catch and release. Next time, I told my kids, were going to eat them for dinner.
