paul. Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 i took my little emily out fishin' yesterday and she had a blast. she caught some real nice bluegills and a 1.5 and a 3 pound bass to boot on some of the smaller gills we kept for bait. the only downside was that she lost big bass, a real heartbreaker. but in true 6y.o. fashion, she wasn't fazed at all, just happy with the ones she had. well, i went for a while with her again today. this time, she was done after catchin' a few bream. but she did ask me if i caught the fish she lost yesterday, to make sure she got a picture with it. i figured since the live bream worked pretty good yesterday, i'd just go with that again. but i wasn't interested in 3 pounders, so i chunked a bluegill out that was about hand-sized. took a while, but the bluegill started exhibiting the jitters and nervousness they always do when a biggun' is about to make lunch out of 'em. and buddies, let me tell ya, when this one hit she meant business!!! she absolutely freight-trained the gill and the fight was on! she gave a real good account of herself too on the little spinning rod. 7-5 on the digital scale. ;D i got little em over there for a quick pic and put the fish back. i asked her if she thought that was the one she lost yesterday. she said excitedly, "i think this one was even bigger!" what a way to end another great fishin' trip with my sweet girl! hope y'all are catchin' some too.

Super User .dsaavedra. Posted March 18, 2008 Super User Posted March 18, 2008 great job paul and emily!!!! that sounds like alot of fun. i love the feeling that a bluegill makes when a bass is about to smash 'em!!!! im heading to the local park tomorrow, where bluegills are a plenty, hopefully i can get some little ones to use for bait (last time i was there the shallows were void of bluegills, which is uncommon...too cold i guess). catch a biggun or two for me ;D Quote

Give my congrats to Emily, I wish I had been that good at 6 years! If you get a chance could you drop some of your ever-enlightening advice by my post about help deep water fishin? I'd really appreciate it T Quote
