The Biggest Fish
I try to keep this blog focused on seach engine marketing, but once in a while, I have something off topic to write about. This past weekend, I went on a little campout with my dad and brothers. We call this the "macho-man campout" -- why, I'm not sure, but that's what we call it. This year we went to Yuba Lake. The weather was perfect. it was about 80 degrees during the day and not a cloud in sight, hardly any wind, and lots of sunshine.
Part of the "macho" tradition is to see who can catch the most fish, and of course, the biggest. This year, Eric took the victory in the most fish department with something like 42, but I caught the biggest--a 22 inch rainbow trout that tipped the scales at 4 lbs. I'm really not much of a fisherman, but it was a lot of fun catching that big guy. And I was very proud to take home the victory for biggest fish since I was nowhere near the total number lead (I only caught 16). Besides three of those big rainbows, all we caught was a bunch of small perch. Oh, yeah, dad did catch one Northern Pike that had some serious teeth on it.
The secret to our fishing success? The ever-trusty Jake's Spin-a-lure (gold w/red dots). On a sidenote: Jake's could use some good SEO on their site. Although if they market themselves too well and everyone starts using those lures, maybe they won't be as effective. Anyway, those lures have been good for catching trout just about everywhere I've ever tried. The perch at Yuba seemed to like the lure, too.
