When you are kid lazy hot afternoon's should be spent next to a pond. My boys spent the night at their cousins house, while celebrating a birthday they just happen to take advantage of the pond with big carp. I dropped the kids off on Sunday night and it wasn't long before Eric (who was featured during trout season) called me all excited about Hudson fighting a huge Pond Monster. They horsed this thing in for a long time and as Carter was to net the thing (net was way to small for the chore at hand) it broke the line and as the disappointment lingered they plotted the next round. It had the makings of a real episode of POND MONSTERS minus the third world country. So it brings us to Monday as I pull into the driveway I don't know yet that round 3, or 4 was just starting. Yes we were late for the picnic at my mothers house but when you have a biggin on, Dad waits to see what unfolds. As the song says with a little help from his friends the group effort was successful, the first carp landed at this pond. This carp was not the big one but it's not to shabby. There are bigger ones in the pond but they will be there for another day.
