Fam Camping at Rend lake

[JestersHK]

Spent a long weekend in the heat with my cousins and the family, about 21 of us this year.

 We camp right next to the lake so we get to fish quite a bit.  All my girls were able to catch them on there own this year too so I was a proud papa.  Mostly gills and sun fish, but we got into a few cats as well.  

My middle kiddo caught a nice cat on her ultralight for big fish of the weekend.  Not sure how she did it on 4lb test and a tiny hook, but we got him landed.  Caught some good eater size ones, but when she started naming them I was guilted into catch and release again this year.

We have a traditional kids vs. adults kickball game as well.  The kids beat us bad last year, but this year victory was ours and we eeked out a win!

Weather was hot, bugs were awful, but smiles were made and it was all worth it. Got back Sunday and had to turn around and fly to New Orleans for work so this was def a needed calm before the chaos.

Still trying to squeeze in a charter down here this week if we can... Hotels suck, but it's cooler here than back home right now if you can believe it.
