Took my youngest and best fishing buddy to chase some stream bass on Saturday morning (after a stop for pancakes that motivated her to get moving. :lol: ).
I did the casting, she did most of the fish fighting and quite a bit of the retrieving/hook setting.
Final score: 2 hours, 7 smallies to about 12 inches, 5 or 6 small green sunnies, one squawfish of about 13 inches, one grinning dad, and small blond girl on the phone in the back seat on the drive home excitedly telling mom about all the fish she caught, how pretty the creek was, etc. :D
In retrospect, the best part was going over an hour and a half before the first "dad, can we go, I'm hungry". For a kid that my wife describes as having the attention span of a butterfly on crack :shock: , that qualifies as a very thumbs up review.
And, she wants to go back in two weeks (her idea)! :twisted:
(But the 10-year old wants to go play golf instead. :oops: )
