Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Birth of a deer camp

well I got my bote...err boat out yesterday. I enlisted my 14 year old brother to help me take out my 5 year old and her 7 and 10 year old cousins on a sunny fishing trip. We had a great time, kept about 30 nice ones and even entered Lauren's biggest in the Alex area fishing contest. She is tied for the season's biggest sunny in the junior division with an 11 oz bluegill (it was 9 1/2 inches long). I was a little surprised it didnt weight a smidge more, it was a big'un. Then again, it was hours after we caught it. But Lauren is tickled pink to be leading the contest, even though she really doesnt know what a fishing contest is.
