Johan and I picked the boys up from camp this afternoon (because we were not at the hospital having a baby). When I found K he quickly let me know that he was a little disappointed because while fishing he only caught a "snag." He said he thought it must have been a "ginormous" fish because he couldn't even reel it in. When we got to the car K proceeded to tell Johan about the giant "snag" that he had caught. Then he turned to me and inquired, "Mama, what is a snag?" It was at this point that burst out laughing, I realized that K must have been told by his camp counselor that he had "caught a snag." From this K understood that a "snag" must be a really big fish, because it was so difficult to reel in. He was disappointed because he never got to see the "snag."
C had more luck today, he caught a croaker. Apparently it really does audibly croak. C gives an excellent impression. He was disappointed because although it was 13 inches long (long enough to keep) the camp was only doing catch and release fishing today. The croaker is a bottom feeder found throughout the Gulf of Mexico and along the Atlantic coast. Today the boys were fishing on the bottom off of a pier using shrimp. This is what the croaker looks like:
