Journaling:

The first fishing trip experience for Elizabeth and Andrew was on a leisurely weekend in Pikeville. There’s not a better place for it to happen than on the family farm - the fishing holes Daddy and his younger brothers grew up using. Elizabeth and Andrew were excited. Daddy baited his hook with a worm dug up from behind the barn just like he and his brothers did as kids. One drop of the line and bingo, we had a catch! Mommy baited “Elizabeth’s” hook and after our second descent, we had caught a little sunfish. (Andrew left with the thought that fishing was that easy: drop your line and a fish would instantly bite.) We put the fish in a bucket and one of Papa’s large bulls came over to investigate. Fear went into the kids at that point and Daddy had a hard time trying to scare the beast off. Daddy caught one more fish and that concluded our first experience fishing. We quickly moved on to a more exciting event - riding Uncle Tollette’s and cousin Mark’s four-wheelers through the acres of fields.
