Time To Clean ...

Last Fish Caught

Ella had the maggot container ...
and handed me a couple maggot to put on the hook ...
to catch our last fish ...
the kids were happy to help Grandpa drive the boat ...
It was time to clean all the fish that were caught ..
James really wanted to learn how to clean them ...
so Grandpa handed James the fillet glove ...
and guided him with the fillet knife ...
he did an awesome job cleaning ...
then Ella wanted to try ... so James handed her the glove  ...
Grandpa did cut the fish ...
and Ella removed the innards ...
Grandma's kind of girl ...

All the fish cleaned and put on ice in the fish well ...
time to head back to shore ...
Grandpa started up the big motor ...
and we were off ...
Craig was at the front ...
keeping a look out ...
then the motion of the waves had almost lulled him to sleep ...
until Grandpa revved up the motor ...
because James & Ella wanted to go faster ...
bouncing over the waves ...
the kids were delighted ... 
laughing & giggling ...
this day of fishing has come to an end ...
Home again ...
fish ready to be put away ...
what a great day ...
we had our limit again with the help of the grandchildren ...
and they want to back tomorrow ...
they had a blast ...
