Well when the wife made a stop at Wal-Mart I decided to pick up a pack of small floats some #10 hooks and a can of crickets and take my four year old little girl fishing this evening. Never thought twice to take the lid off and check the crickets I mean we could hear them inside and see some through the top. Well when we got to the river park and I set up her light up handle barbie rod and went to put on a cricket I could not find any. I took out the rotten apple slices and opened up the egg crate and saw only 5 live crickets in there!! The lid said 50 count but only 5 still moving. I would have used the peices as they would have worked just as good but all the other crickets were in a rotten goo in the bottom of the container!! So we fished with what we had. Four crickets stolen off the hook and one took the hook. My little girl was so excited to crank up the fish until it came over the rail then shear panic broke out on the peir. LOL My wife took a quick picture and we released the little "fishy" back into the drink. Picture is hard to see with my green shirt on and Allison looks like she is about to jump off the peir to get away from it. It wouldn't be so bad if they stood still but that flopping around makes her nearvous I guess. Anyway great evening to be out and about with the family.
