Today is my brother's birthday !
I want to give a very big wish to him today for a Happy Happy Birthday! Today I scaled and filleted fish which brought back fond memories of our youth. Our Dad took us fishing quite often and we had the opportunity to spend some wonderful time in some beautiful places. We often brought home trout, blue gill, bass and salmon- huge salmon... As a matter of fact we caught so much salmon one year in Washington Island, Wisconsin that the small plane we flew over in couldn't take off with the weight. If memory serves we took a ferry and the fish flew... Another time we had a stringer of blue gill and sun fish setting in the lake on the shore and a huge turtle tried to take the stringer of all of the fish. Another time while we fished with live bait an osprey swooped down to eat the bait and one of us either caught it or nearly did. I also recall that my brother caught the back of his head, luckily our Dad had surgical skills.
We really were gifted so many wonderful experiences by our parents, not just fishing. I was gifted a brother with whom I have enjoyed many adventures. I am so very proud you Jim, you mean the world to me. I look forward to many more adventures with you. Happy Happy Birthday!
Love, Pam
