My wife Leane and I have been married for many years our children are grown up and we are expecting our first grandchild this January 15Th. So when I have a chance to take my niece fishing I jump on the opportunity as quick as I can, you see Analese lives out in Ohio and we live in Minnesota on Big Sandy lake. Last year while visiting us Analese wanted to fish so I took her and my nephew down to the dock and we fished for hours and only caught a few little ones, little did I know that this day my niece got the fishing bug bad!! Analese has been asking for one year now to come back to uncle Rick's and aunt Leanes to go fishing and of course to visit :) This year when they arrived for a family reunion she started asking right away about going fishing with uncle Rick the weather was bad with rain and wind but it came down to the last day and we went rain or shine.
Analese is 6 years old in fact her birthday was just a few days prior to this day, she loves to fish and for the first hour we did not catch a thing. The cold windy day I could see was starting to get to her and yet Analese still wanted to catch a fish.
Analese finally caught a fish and then it was GAME ON she ended up catching about 30 or so we lost count she had such a good time and I was just in heaven I thought what a great day and what an Awesome experience for my niece and I to share these memories together forever. I am not sure if I thanked Analese for this day as she was so excited to be out on the dock or as she referred to it as the bridge.
This was by far the largest we caught this afternoon and we got a few at the 7-8.5" mark so it was a great day out.
Analese started finally getting cold enough were she wanted to go back up to the cabin as the sun was going down and the cold really started to get to her. I want to thank you Analese for the day you spent with me, I wish I could bottle up all the fun we had and open it whenever I wanted. I am not able to do that so I have you on my blog sweet heart. I love you Analese, Uncle Rick
As I loaded up my truck and had Analese buckled up in her seat this is the last thing I saw as I looked back at the dock on Big Sandy Lake.
