This morning I went out for my first boat ride. We went "jugging" for fish. Mom was a little nervous about having me out on the river, but everything was fine. I had my life jacket on and Uncle Jeff put me behind the wheel.

We got going pretty fast out on the water and the wind was blowing my hair. It's a good thing I had a windshield
in front of me to keep the sand and bugs out of my face.

After driving for a while, I sat at the other end of the boat with Dad. I could see all around us.

We finally caught one little catfish. We were using hot dogs for bait. I just can't figure out where that hot dog went. I checked in the fish's mouth, but couldn't find it.

Dad let me pet the fish before he threw it back in the water. It was pretty slimy, but really cool. I can't wait to go fishing on the river again.
