Fish Story

Isn't Povo Canyon beautiful!

I love Utah this time of year! Kirk and I were able to go fishing on the Provo river last week. On Thanksgiving morning, we had a great time. We saw about a dozen wild turkeys flying over the river which was very festive. We went to our favorite November spot and caught a bunch of big fish. The trout we catch in California are about 5-6 inches long. The ones we caught in Provo were 16-18 inches long. It was really fun. About half way through the morning, I hooked in to something big. Kirk helped me out and netted the fish. It turned out to be a 24 inch trout! We were so excited. Kirk said he's never seen a fish that big on the Provo, and he's caught a lot of fish there (believe me on this one). Anyway, we got a few pictures and let it go. The next morning we went out again to the same spot. My first cast I hooked into something big again, and it turned out to be the same fish! He must have been really hungry--that's probably why he got so big. We were excited because the pictures from Thursday didn't turn out--they were all blurry. We got some better ones on Friday. We needed my cousin Carrie there to help out :). Anyway, here is my giant Thanksgiving fish.
