The Mighty Fisherman

Cooper is your typical fisherman.  His fish got bigger and bigger each time he told his story.  I'm not sure who was more excited to take Cooper fishing-Cooper or John!  Cooper had never been fishing before and had so much fun.  Mom compared Cooper's fishing attention span to a gnat.  He wanted to play while Uncle John held the pole and then run over and reel it in when it had a fish.  Of course he then got all the credit.
The Trout Haven Ranch was a great place.  You pay for your catch ($1.00 per inch-we couldn't catch too many!) but they provide the poles, bait and a bucket.  My kind of fishing!

A very excited little boy who caught his first fish!

They stock the pond weekly-you could see the fish. 

The first catch

He became Cooper's pet once he caught him.  He wanted to feed him the bait.

Love these guys!
