Super User fishinfiend Posted June 6, 2008 Super User Posted June 6, 2008 looks like your daughter does not catch dinks either ;D Quote
Bass XL Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 looks like your daughter does not catch dinks either ;D Yep. It's always fun to have a little once catch some big fish. Quote
hawgchaser Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 I don't think it is safe to have that cute little thing around some of the bass you catch Quote
FivePoundBluegill Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Those are some nice cats she caught. How much did they weigh? They look to be good sized. Did she catch those herself or did you help her? Quote
rondef Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Congrats, Emily looks like she had a lot of fun. Quote
paul. Posted June 6, 2008 Author Posted June 6, 2008 Those are some nice cats she caught. How much did they weigh? They look to be good sized. Did she catch those herself or did you help her? she caught 'em mostly by herself i guess is the best way to say it. i just hand her the pole and she starts crankin' when we get a bite. but when they get close, she likes to hand me the pole and net the fish. that's her favorite part with the catfish. we didn't weigh any of 'em. i guess they were about 2-4 pounds. actually, her favorite part of this whole trip was once when she put her hook in the water without bait on it and caught a bluegill anyway (really). she is still talking about that this morning and she wanted me to make sure i told everybody that. 8-) Quote
thetr20one Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 That's awesome. I love when my daughter catches fish too. It's amazing how some guys around here use gloves. Little Em holding CATFISH without gloves, very cool. Starting her off good, next thing you know she is sightfishing solo and catchin em like dad!! Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted June 6, 2008 Super User Posted June 6, 2008 well she's got me beat...i hate catching catfish and when i do catch them i grab their lip w/ pliers, i specially hate touching them ;D. Quote
Daniel My Brother Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Cool story and GREAT pictures. Gotta love it! Quote

I love the way she handles those fish. What a cutie! Quote
BassResource.com Advertiser FD. Posted June 8, 2008 BassResource.com Advertiser Posted June 8, 2008 Great job Paul, I have more fun watching my little ones catch fish than catching myself. PS - Thank goodness she fishes like dad but does not look like dad.... Quote
alarcher Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 Gotta love it! My little gals are a blast to watch fish! So I know how proud dad is! Quote
Mattlures Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 Paul you are awsome. Your duaghter is a cutie. I have a little girl also. She 3 and asking to go fishing. I am going to take her out real soon. how old is/was your daughter when you started her? Quote
paul. Posted June 10, 2008 Author Posted June 10, 2008 thanks y'all. i want y'all to know that i read every one of y'all's responses to little em. it is so cool to watch her sweet face light up as she hears all the nice things y'all say. matt, i guess emilly has been fishing since she was old enough to walk around a lake or pond with me. as time goes on, she gets better and better and is learning to do more and more without my help. she's 6 now. lee, i'm in total agreement with you. so is emily. ;D it's just so funny that catchin' those 3 catfish hardly fazed her, it was catchin' that one tiny bluegill without any bait on the hook that she is still talking about. just goes to show you that they don't measure a trip's success like we do. sometimes it's the little things that make all the difference in the world. thanks again for the kind responses.
