Since Ellie moved away, Simon spends 80% of his free time fishing and the other 20% of the time talking about fishing. His dedication paid off when he landed this big guy, or as he called it, "a freakin' monster!"

On most days, he just catches normal pond-sized fish.
You know why it's called a large-mouth bass?
The tale of the catfish tail is now the stuff of legend in our house. Simon snagged this huge catfish with his hook by its tail. It was huge. And he caught it by its tail.
Some fish (sun fish?) are very beautiful!
Occasionally they use the seining net to catch minnows to feed our pet bass in the dining room fish tank.
One time, Simon caught a frog (Big Bertha) with his bare hands.
We're still working on his fish holding poses...
Not sure what the story is here...
Alice is so annoyed that Simon (weeks later) is still talking about his huge bass. She demonstrated, with her cheese bagel, how if you hold things in front of you, they are closer to the camera and appear larger.
Simon is undeterred and still emphasizes that he caught a huge bass.
