July 7 & 8

Yesterday after our game against West Virginia Cody and I went to Roosters with Don and Donna to grab a bite to eat. Next we went home and packed our bags for our trip to West Virginia the following day because we weren't going to come back. That night we went to Clearwater Lake which is about 50 minutes north and just south of Columbus to go Catfishing. We went with a Keenan White and Nick Lombardi. Since its a private lake we didn't have to have a fishing liscense but you have to pay $12 to be able to fish there. Keenan brought some blue gill to use as bait and we also bought some other small bait fish. Within 15 minutes of being there Cody caught a monster catfish. It was probably 3.5 long and weighed close to 20 pounds. A couple minutes later he caught another catfish but it wasn't as big as the first one. I didn't catch a fish til about 6 in the morning. We ended up being there for only 5 hours but we didn't start fishing til 2. After staying up all night fishing everyone was tired and we decided to leave at 7 and went to the ball park to try and sleep for an hour before we had to get on the bus and leave for West Virginia.
The bus left at 9:30 and once I got into my seat I fell asleep. I took a good two hour nap but woke up because the bus was like 90 degrees. Apparently the a/c broke and we just had to tough it out. Everyone on the bus was sweating bullets and half the guys took their shirts off because they were sweating so much. Needless to say, it was miserable. Once we got to the hotel everyone was relieved to be in the air conditioning.
We didn't leave the hotel til 3 so everyone just hung out in their rooms The game tonight was pretty sloppy. There were too many errors and too many walks and we ended up losing the game 5-9. After the game everyone changed and we went to eat at the Hooters down the street.
