Today was the inaugural 4th of July Fishing Derby. After breakfast, the competitors prepared their fishing rods and cast them into the pond.
Within seconds of casting the line, the first fish was caught…
by this guy.
It was a sign of things to come. With much long-suffering–and some tears–the others waited…
and waited…
oh so patiently for a fish to grab the scrumptious hot dog on the end of the line.
No matter where they stood, the fish just didn’t seem interested.
Meanwhile, as the others waited, Derek continued reeling in more
and more
and more
and more fish, until time was up and he had caught a whopping 24 fish!
The final count: Derek 24 fish, Jim and Peter 4 fish each, and the others zilch. The reward for the winner was any treat, any size from Oberweis. Well done, 2015 Fishing Derby winner!
