Kid's Fishing Clinic 2007 - June 9, 2007

This is the 2nd year Sam participated in the fishing clinic sponsored by the Wichita Eagle (our newspaper). The weather was so much nicer this year than last year when it seemed to be 100 degreees! The kids are assigned a time to be at the Great Plains Nature Center where they are taught how to carry the pole, cast it into the lake, catch a fish, and throw it back in. Every kid catches a fish (wouldn't that be nice everytime we go fishing), and they take a polaroid picture of every kid with the fish they caught. Sam was a little timid, but once the guide helped Sam get his pole in the right place it didn't take long to catch a fish. The man unhooked the fish, and it flopped around on the ground. Sam quickly picked the fish up and threw it back in the pond. Wow!, his mom would have never done that!
