Over Memorial day weekend, my husband and I decided we needed to get out and fish a little on the Missouri, so we packed up our gear and headed out- I was almost 8 months pregnant and wasn't feeling the greatest that weekend, but that Sunday, I felt great, so I thought fishing would be the perfect close to our weekend. Jim, my hubby, got everything set up perfect so that I could sit close to where we cast (shore fishing) and the night was beautiful, no wind and the sun was going down nicely. Well, Jim got hungry and forgot the cooler in the car, which was up a large bank, so I was in charge of all 4 poles while he went up to the car. I suddently had a bite and started to bring in the fish, when all of a sudden, Jim's pole had a hard tug, so I knew we had a good fish on the line with his. I hurried to get my fish onto shore and was yelling at my husband to hurry and get back down to me and to grab the net. I got my fish to shore, a small mouth bass, and immediately waddled over to Jim's pole as fast as I could, being 8 months pregnant. I yelled to my husband to hurry and get back down to me and to grab the net. I started to bring the fish in best I could - one of the complications with my pregnancy was that my hands would go tingly and numb - so I was doing everything I could to hold on to the pole and bring this fish in. Jim was sliding down the bank and running towards me, just as I was getting the fish to shore for him to net. The fish was a 25" walleye, the best fish I had ever caught. Well, my hubby thinks that fishing excited the baby, because the next night, we welcomed our baby boy Easton 6 weeks early. Jim thinks it's because the fishing was so good, he couldn't wait any longer!
