Sacrifice To the Fishing Gods

[smarandr]

Floated a local stretch of river with my oldest and youngest on Saturday morning (the middle decided he'd rather sleep), and lost my sunglasses in the river shortly after we put in. Turns out the sacrifice was worth while; we caught a couple of 20 inchers. I released the first one and was harangued incessantly by the boys until I agreed we could keep the next one. The second one they actually tag team reeled in (after I hooked it) and considered it their fish; we ate it that very night.

Good job dad!
That brings back lots of good memories fishing eastern Idaho, that are now much too old of memories.

Good job dad!

You don't know the rest of the story though. Told the youngest we need to go back and throw him in the river to see if it would give me my sunglasses back. He didn't think it was funny, but he did tell me that he could probably swim back to the bridge if I wanted to try it.
