Bullheads with Grandpa and Grandma

Recommended Posts

Pretty special night last night... My 82 year old grandfather and 83 year old grandmother joined my brother and I and our girlfriends for an evening of bullhead fishing. Grandma was the big catcher on the night, and we ended up with 23 nice bullheads. At one point she and my grandpa got tangled up as she was bringing in a fish, but as their lines came in they started going in opposite directions--they both had one on and they landed them together! Pretty hard to keep these two apart wink

Now in my 30's, I am very, very lucky to still be able to do this with them and I won't ever take these moments for granted. They are pure gold!

They headed out at 11pm (well past their bedtime), and even then you could hardly peel Grandma out of there! She's a die-hard (and this was after fishing walleyes on Winnie for 5 hours in the boat earlier in the day). Pretty darn special right there. When they left, my brother and I just smiled and nodded at each other. Words can't do these moments justice.

Great experience!!!

This reminds me of a time when I was 8 to 12 years old. My grandmother would pay us for cleaned bullheads. It started out at a nickel apiece. Through inflation we were raking in a quarter for each. She always told us that they were better than the ones at PigWig.

We too would fish at night, off the dock. ;-)
