Hey Guys,
It's been way to long, but now it begins. Hunting Season!!! Well I guess I will catch you up with the end of summer fishing trips. Dad, Matt, Stryker and I floated the Genesee River in late August from Mt. Morris to Geneseo.

We did fairly well. Matt was the highlight of the trip with his 5 pound catfish and two dead birds with a BB gun. I caught a monster catfish that we had to net in a bucket because the net was in the canoe with Dad and Matt. Dad and Stryker both caught a few also. Overall a great day. Stryker got stuck on a submerged log at one point and went in after it. See the picture of when he hit the deep spot. Matt also achieved the amazing feat of losing a fishing rod and reel. No idea how it happened, but we know it was not a fish. We're floating down the river and Matt says, "Hey anybody seen my pole." and that was that. We searched the water for about 30 minutes to no avail, so we gave it up for lost. We also had the opportunity to see three bald eagles. Pretty amazing!
