It was a very nice Easter

Easter Sunday started out foggy, but the sun soon cleared that away.
We went fishing. Got to watch gar mating. ;)
And some ducks, too. Didn't get pictures, sorry. Was just enjoying the beautiful day. Just enough wind to keep the humidity from being too warm.
Hooked an Alligator snapping turtle. Fortunately it was small enough that I was able to flip it back a bit and get my hook back.
Caught lots of small panfish. Mostly pumpkin seed. We threw them back along with any females that still needed to spawn.
But we did catch a few keepers and a really nice channel catfish. :)

We had a very nice Easter dinner with the fish and we have enough left over for another meal today or tomorrow.

And now we're getting ready for our next trip to the farm.
Hope you all have a Blessed week!

    That's a really cool way to have Easter dinner. Glad the hunt for your own food was successful. My family raises cattle so we have a gorgeous roast!

    Crystal, it was a nice dinner. I love to eat fish. I have my dad to thank for that. And for taking me fishing a lot when I was growing up.

    Thanks for stopping by! :)
