The Almighty Fisherman

This past weekend Dustin fished in a tournament with my Dad, his friend Don, and Reagan. I am sure Reagan was totally in awe, because you never know what is going to come out of my Dad's mouth. He also never shuts his mouth....EVER. The Caney Creek Tournament started in Matagorda on Saturday morning and ran through Sunday at noon. They woke up super early Saturday, and my Dad took them to all his secret spots to wade fish. He was exhausted when he got home, but had a blast! Sunday was the weigh in and the truth was told on how they did. Saturday my Dad caught a 26 inch Red fish, Dustin caught at 24 inch Red, and Reagan a 22 inch Red. Sunday morning Dustin caught a big trout! My dad thought he was going to win the tournament with it. In case you were all wondering big trout are really hard to catch. Why? I don't know, I will ask my Dad when he gets back from Europe. That is just what the ol' wise Bubba told me. At the weigh in my Dad came in a close 3rd with this Red Fish, but the pay out was only on the top 2 Red Fish. Better luck next time Bubba...I am still proud of you. Dustin actually won 2nd with his trout, and almost had 1st place. I am so proud of him! He also got a big payout, and a plaque. I as more excited about the cash then the plaque.ha! Below is a picture of the fisherman with his red fish and winning trout:


Here is a picture of some of the fish they caught. The rest Dustin had already filleted.



I stayed in Katy, and went shopping with my Mom. We went to Homegoods and got more stuff for Kaylee's room. I haven't put any of it up yet, but will post pictures when we get around to it. I also had MORE emotional breakdowns this weekend....imagine that. Dustin called Sunday morning and I was all pissy. He asked what was wrong and my response "I don't get to have any fun.". He asked, "what would you like to do". My response, "Drink and ride on a boat". You know because there are so many Sunday mornings that I am sipping on a alcoholic beverage while riding on a boat. I am such a mess these days!!!!!!
