She is 87 now and still a bundle of fire.
Like the Timex watch she just keeps ticking.
In a short time she's leaving with a friend for a river cruise.
In RUSSIA!
But the subject of this post is fishing.
Yes, I said "fishing".
For some odd reason, Diane has had a lifelong affection for fishing and she went out with one of her daughters yesterday at a tiny lake in Northern Arizona.
And here she is showing off what they caught.
Five exquisite Rainbow Trout, a couple of them 15 inches long!
Not bad for an afternoon sitting on the side of a lake in Arizona.
She said the big ones were the largest she's hooked since her kids were three years old.
And that is a long time ago.
So KOKO, Diane.
(That's text talk for Keep On Keepin' On.)
No word yet on whether she'll be dipping a rod off that cruise boat in Russia.
Nice!!
ReplyDeleteVery impressed! I also like her shirt!
ReplyDeleteShe is an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWhat whole name of lake? Or should I say hole name? Would she have to kill you if you told anyone?
ReplyDeleteLake Mary, Phil, south of Flagstaff.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great haul! AND what a terrific meal they would make!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking some sturgeon fishing is in her future! (That's the only fish I can think of that is regularly identified with Russia.)
ReplyDeleteThat's impressive! I've never caught a trout. Wondering what she used for bait. Lure? Rubber worm? Real worm? Cricket? All I know about trout fishing is what I've seen on TV or read about, and I associate it with fly-fishing, which seems like a lot of work.
ReplyDeleteNice brace o' 'bows, and the makings of a fine breakfast.
ReplyDeletegood on her!! Wishing her good travels
ReplyDeleteThat pretty impressive! I might not be a fisherman but, I can see me out somewhere with my camera at that age.
ReplyDeleteGood for her, though I've always found the appeal of fishing to be baffling.
