hey everyone,

so after my dad had a great time last week landing some trout... I wanted my mom to land her first ever trout this week!

Got my mom a 1-day license online the night before... and so picked up my parents and we hit the road at 5:30am, and got to Jackson a little before 7am. Nice cool, slightly breezy conditions to start. Only one other lone fisherman there casting lures.

As soon as we setup, my dad gets one to bite maybe 5 seconds after he casts in and he lands a decent stocker...

ok, I think it's gonna be a great day fishing and hopefully can get my mom to land some trout!

so after a quick casting lesson, my mom casts and I start recording... here's a quick vid of her first ever trout :LOL: my dad's net job is pretty good too :Embarrassed:

well... she pretty quickly gets the hang of it... and becomes a seasoned pro! hahaha
nice little fight on 2lb test and a loose drag!

she continues to catch her limit! yahoooooo! I like how this feisty trout splashes her face with some good'ol lake water :LOL:

Well... my dad also caught his limit and he had a great time:

More people started to show up and share the bank with us... was a beautiful, blue-sky day... warmed up pretty quickly too. We limited out in about 1 1/2 hrs...

Decided to call it quits... and here's the ONE BIG BENEFIT of bringing mom along... having a feast by the lake! (much better than the ramen noodles my dad and I cooked when just the 2 of us went the week before!)

well, after the feast, we relaxed under the shade for a little bit longer, and then packed up and headed home.

Was so cool seeing my parents fishing together... my dad joked and said we're gonna have to get her an annual fishing license soon :LOL: good time with my parents today... who, to me, for so long never seemed to be getting older... but as I've been away many, many years in school/training... now I can see their age showing.. hoping to spend more time with them for moments like these~

hope y'all enjoyed the report/vids/pics... pardon my enthusiasm during the vids! I get easily excited :Embarrassed: especially when I see others catching...

That is quite a feast! Is that a rice cooker?
Good job on the trout.

WTG! I agree that helping someone catch their first fish is better than catching them yourself. Great Job!

Wow..you're not kidding when you said it was a feast. That's enough food to feed a family of 7. You guys must have a blast.

haha... yup! she brought korean bbq to wrap in the lettuce too! only thing would've made it sweeter was if we could've cooked some of the fresh trout right on a grill or something!

yeah was cool seeing my dad give my mom some "pointers"! haha... he looked like he was having fun netting them....
