Brian's BIG catch!

On the morning of Brian's 25th birthday Brian and Chris decided to go out fishing one last time before we left the cabin. They were catching fish and putting them back in the water and when they were getting ready to leave Brian decided to cast out one more time. He caught a fish and the hook caught the fish right below its eye, so Brian was trying to get it out. As he was doing that the fish started to wiggle and his thumb got stuck with the other hook. It wasn't bad until the fish started to wiggle some more and it went deeper and deeper into his thumb. They came home and Grandpa drove Brian down to Ashton, Idaho to a medical center which was about 30 minutes away. The hook was too deep to just push through so the doctor had to make an incision and pull it out. In the end, his thumb got a band aid, we saved the hook, and the fish, well... he got put in the freezer till someone gets hungry! Not the best way to start out his birthday! We have decided that Brian's has bad luck when he goes fishing with Chris!




These were the fish that Brian and Chris had caught a couple days before. We cooked them up for lunch! I don't eat fish, so I didn't try them but everyone said that they were really meaty and good! Brian's fish was 16'' and Chris's was 18''.
