Flaming Gorge

This last weekend I went to Flaming Gorge with some friends to fish for the weekend. I did to expect to be a die hard, but it ended up being that way! We spent all day, I mean ALL day on the boat trying to catch Lake Trout. It takes a lot of patience, so it was difficult for me! It was such an amazing time, especially since I had only caught 2 fish in my whole life prior to this weekend. The final count was 16 small mouth bass, 6 rainbow trout, and 2 lake trout. Not to shabby!

24 pounds of Lake Trout! Yeah buddy!

Marc and I with my first Rainbow. I did not want to hold it beause he was flopping all over the place! (I look a little wind-blown, yuck!)

Action photo of reeling in my big one! It took a good 10 minutes to get him in the boat. My arms killed!

This is my 21 pound Lake Trout. Not quite as impressive! But not too bad!

Releasing him back.

Memorial 5K

Back in May my family went to a memorial 5k for my great uncle who died while training for a marathon. It was really fun to be able to go and spend time with family.
