This spring has been insane with wet weather, and apparently it’s the second wettest spring on record.  It’s rained almost daily and hasn’t made going fishing easy.  Today we received a break and took advantage.  We rounded up the boys and headed to Utah Lake.  It was still cloudy, but the weather was warm and the wind wasn’t bad, especially once we got back into our secret catfish hole that is protected from the wind.

The kitties were ready to play right from the first cast, and within minutes, Devin was reeling in a big ole channel cat.  
The best part of this trip was the fish were taking it so aggressively the boys were able to set the hook and reel in all the fish on their own, although these big cats gave the boys a run for their money at times.  It was awesome watching the battle between boy vs catfish!
All the boys got in on the action and we constantly had double and triple hook ups.  I was constantly busy helping re-bait, untangle lines, and take photos.  Everything a dad could ask for when taking his boys fishing.
The fun ended shorter than planned as a dark cloud and lightning started to head our way, but by then the boys were sick of reeling in fish.  Can’t say that too often.  What an awesome trip.
