the sleppys

Went fishing this AM so Kyle could use the rod and reel Santa brought him. Ty and I wanted to try out the lures Santa had brought us. My Rooster Tail was working like magic until Ty hooked a large male tilapia. That damned fish broke the line and took my new lure!

Ty apologized, tears welling up in his eyes. It was a large fish putting up a big fight, so I told him that it was okay. It took a bit of time for him to process it all. I explained that it sucked that we lost a lure Santa gave us, but losing it while fighting a fish was part of the game. Better to lose it to a fish than to a snag on something, I told him.
