FACEBOOK!

I finally got my very own Facebook, for my B-day! If any of you have an account look me up! Thanks, and sorry for neglecting this blog, I have been more focused on my other one, insanefisher.blogspot.com and my facebook!

Sorry!

I am still sorry about my absense of posting, Summer has been busy and I am spending too much effort on my fishing blog! I will try to post something sometime soon! :(

I won't be posting frequently

Sorry guys, but my Dad doesn't like 'screens' (TV, Video games, and yes computer) in the summer so Dad took them away (We, me and my brother, didn't lose it he just wants us to 'play outside' more often) Mom or Dad agreed to give me computer, only once in a while, this fall my posts will be back to usual! Mom and Dad let me type on my laptop (I am making a book on my laptop, so they let me have all laptop privlages during summer. P.S. my laptop does NOT have internet connection) so I will try to type my posts there and use a Flash drive to transfer them later.

I made a Fishing Blog!

Hello, readers! I decided to stop posting all this fishy stuff on this blog (You will probably think that all I do is fish, which is "fairly" accurate :) So I made a new one! The link is in the right corner of your screen, but if it doesn't work you can copy paste this link:

I hope you enjoy it!

I went fishing today, at "Pheasants Forever Youth Outdoor Days", (They also had pistol, muzzleloader, 22. and shotgun shooting and tomahawk throwing and archery but I mainly went fishing) and I caught two Rainbow Trout! One was 16" Long! Now some of you may be thinking that I am going to post bloody gory fish pictures, do I have pictures of the fish's headless body with guts spilling out YES! Will I post them NO!!! (I don't know you could be eating LUNCH!) It was a really fun time!

Fishy before we cut it up!

Fishy (And homemade french fries) AFTER WE CUT IT UP! :)

Well, all in all it was a great time!

My Grandparents love birds! So do I... God's creation signing elegantly at 6:30-7:00 AM!!!! This annoying little birdy keeps signing RIGHT OUTSIDE THE DOOR THAT LEADS TO THE DECK (Which UNFORTUNATELY LEADS INTO MY ROOM!) Well Gabe and I are to lazy to get up and use our pellet guns that early but maybe Dad will do it... Well this is hard for me to post without trying to run back into my bed.... *YAWN*

BRAIN SPARK!!! I will put a mouse trap above the light that it perches on so next time Tweet Tweet SNAP! Well I am off to go play Minecraft

God Bless

Hello everyone, sorry I haven't posted in a while but I found the perfect oppurtunity to do so! My Grandpa sent me this picture along with this joke, Enjoy!

*AN ATHEIST IN THE WOODS*

An atheist was walking through the woods.

'What majestic trees!'
'What powerful rivers!'
'What beautiful animals!'
He said to himself.

As he was walking alongside the river, he heard a rustling in the 

bushes behind him.

He turned to look. He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him. 


He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder ****

& saw that the bear was closing in on him.

He looked over his shoulder again, & the bear was even closer.

He tripped & fell on the ground.

He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear was right on top of


him, reaching for him with his left paw & raising his right paw to strike
him. 



At that instant moment, the Atheist cried out:
'Oh my God!'

Time stopped.
The bear froze.
The forest was silent.


As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky.

'You deny my existence for all these years, teach others I don't exist and
even credit creation to acosmic accident.' 

'Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament?'

'Am I to count you as a believer?'

The atheist looked directly into the light, and said: 'It would be
hypocritical of me to suddenly ask you to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps you could make the *BEAR* a Christian?'


'Very well', said the voice.


The light went out. The sounds of the forest resumed. And the bear dropped
his right paw, ****

brought both paws together, bowed his head & spoke: ****


'Lord bless this food, which I am about to receive from Thy bounty through
Christ our Lord, Amen.'*****

I went to Amish county last Monday, and first we went to a store called Keim Lumber. It was really funny to see amish people try to work a computer and jump whenever on of their phones ring! But anyways it was really fun, I got to see this old tree cut-off that was alive when Christopher Columbus found America! My camera was dead so I couldn't bring it... but it was fun! We also went to Lehmans (A amish store, for yankee doodles) and I wanted to buy a giant jaw-breaker (Perfect thing for braces) some butter mints and two packs of skittles! The ingredients for the jaw breaker (In order..) are as follows (Remember the company is Pennsylvania Dutch Candies and they are "Old Fashioned") Dextrose (Which is Sugar) with Maltodextrin, Corn Syrup, Malic ACID, Artificial colors (What happened to old fashioned) Yellow 6, Red 40 Lake, Yellow 5 & 6 Lake, Blue 1 Lake, Titanium Dioxide, Natural and Artificial flavors (Not colors), Calcium Stearate, Carnauba Wax. And then it says "Made in a factory that processes Peanuts and Tree Nuts" Well I would love to try some of those Peanuts and tree nuts! What are they made with "Sugar, Mercury, Uranium, Acid, Poison, Milk and flour." Poor Europeans missing out on all this great food! (As I write this I have the delicious jawbreaker in my mouth.) Gag- Choke.... Yummy! Well, I have enjoyed this delicious, mouth-watering, jaw dropping, tasty, DEATH BALL!


The Moral of this post, Please... Don't put stuff in your mouth if you don't know where its been...

 I just realized that I showed you how to fish for my dog but not my dog! Here she is!

Libby and me on the first day we got her!

This was right before she came into our house for the interview.

Well that is all for today!

This is my ADORABLE brother proudly displaying his first fish! I found this picture (And many others from Gabriel's  5th surprise birthday party at Lake Erie) on my Grandma's laptop! She gave it to me because She got a new one for Christmas!



Do you remember the Bible story where Jesus told the fishermen (I am giving away Brownie Points for their names!) to cast their nets to the other side of the boat. Well since God is the Creator of the universe I am sure it turned out with WAY MORE FISH than this...

Notice the Carp's open mouths. The place that me and my Grandparents went was in Pennsylvania and people would toss bread to the fish. (I wanted to attach a hook to the bread but fishing wasn't allowed)

There were thousands of fish!

See the fish in the top right corner that is on top of other fish? They do that all the time! Once I saw a couple of Catfish in with the Carp! (Ducks don't dare get near the feeding frenzy!)

Well this is the end of my current post... Bye!

I was looking and I have 2 german readers!?!? So I just wanted to say "Hallo Deutsch-Leser, ich spreche in Ihrer eigenen Sprache oder lesen Sie Englisch?"
"Danke für das Lesen Country Life mein Name ist Jacob"
"Ich hoffe, dass wir freinds geworden sind ein wunderbarer Tag!"
Ill be back.... Mwa Hahaha

As I have mentioned I have the fishing blues, and yesterday after school I was sitting around thinking what I could fish for. Then I decided, instead of fishing for catfish I will fish for dogfish.

First take your victims favorite toy, in this case Libby's dragon.                                                                                                  

Wrap the fishing line around tightly (Libbys dragon has two squeakers side by side so I just did it in between squeakers) 

Then attach the swivel to the line.                                                                                                                                                     

The result: 

Pros: A "dog"fish that fights harder than a Smallmouth bass!

Cons: My poor doggy wouldn't touch the toy for a while! :)

I have the fishing blues... But in that aspect I will tell 2 funny fishing stories! So... one day I was in Mount Vernon competing in a Fishing Contest! After my first couple casts I landed a 19 3/4 inch trout! Well turns out in the last 5 minutes (The judges were literally weighing in the fish)  this little 2 year old (I was watching her from the judges tent) had one hand on her Dad's pole while her Dad reeled casted etcetera. He caught a 20 inch trout and I lost!

I won this pole in a raffle at the fish competition! Which was nice considering I walked away with a funny story and a pole!

                                    My other funny story is (in my mind) the coolest thing that ever happened during fishing. Gabriel was fishing on the erie isle dock (Where we go to vacation) and caught bottom. So Dad walked over and tried to yank it out, and he did but when he reeled it was like there was a HUGE fish on the line! Gabriel had been catching "bad" (Not good eating) fish all day (Sheepheads) well after he reeled the line in there was a pole attached! He set it down to untangle it and the pole started moving! He had a fish on! He reeled it in and it was a....................................................................................................... SHEEPHEAD! He ended up catching no good fish but had the best story ever!

So today me and Gabriel made my Mother breakfast! He made ham and I made a egg on toast! It is usually hard to make it before she woke up but this time we took advantage of her sleeping in. So that was a surprise to her!

So I shot an opossum yesterday, which was a freaky story! I went inside my Dad's "chicken fortress" and bent over to let out the chickens, and all of the sudden this big furry gray animal jumped out and hissed at me. I was really scared and I ran out of the chicken cage and slammed the door. Upon finding out it was an opossum I ran inside, grabbed my brothers Nylon 66 22. (I couldn't use my shotgun because I didn't want to hurt the coop) and shot it. I felt really bad because it wasn't really "fair" for the possum because he couldn't get out of the coop cage. But it had to be done and since Dad was at work I had to... But the even harder part was picking the thing up by the tail and putting it in the woods.
