One of my favorite memories of my Dad was the time he woke me up early in the morning to go fishing. We got dressed, had breakfast, and then hopped into the car and drove to Moon Lake State Park. Once there we rented a rowboat and made our way out into the middle of the lake. I never much liked fishing, but he made it so much fun that particular day. After about an hour on the lake, casting our lines and hoping for a bite, I pulled at my pole to find it was stuck on something on the bottom of the lake. When I handed the pole to my Dad he smiled and said, "Dawn you caught a fish" Well needless to say I couldn't have been more excited. He helped me reel it in and it was a good sized bass. My first ever fish. Since we were fishing for trout that day, we decided to throw him back and let him live another day. The day of fishing is something I will always treasure, a special memory I'll hold dear to my heart for years to come.
PS: Thats the only fish I have ever caught in my life. :o)
