Twenty-six Fish!

Dad and I went back to Sleepy Hollow State Park Sunday and I caught 26 fish. The biggest fish was a bass about 12 inches long. I also caught lots of panfish, including some very big bluegill.

Some of the fish at Sleepy Hollow are not very smart. Once, the worm came off my hook, but this one bluegill came and bit on the hook, even without any bait on it.

Today was one of my best fishing days!

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (State Park, that is)

It was a very nice spring day and Dad and I went fishing at Lake Ovid at Sleepy Hollow State Park. I like going to Sleepy Hollow, but the guy without the head riding on the horse is kind of creepy.

I was fishing for pike and muskie at the boat launch and we heard a lady say she had once seen someone land a 50-inch muskie there. I didn't catch anything, so we went to the fishing dock by the campground where I fished for panfish. I caught two pumpkinseeds on worms. They were not the biggest fish I have ever caught, but it was nice to be fishing again!
