Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Fishin' 2012

No doubt, Eric!

My 9 year old daughter caught one of the biggest LMB we've pulled out of our 1/2 acre pond just yesterday. She had been fishing a little artificial lure and I found a worm so we hooked it up. I helped her cast to two LMB I could see hovering just below the surface then gave her the rod. She did a great job of just twitching and slowly reeling when her line went taught and she started screaming! She set the hook and after a nice little fight, brought in a 15 inch, 1 lb. 7 oz. LMB. Due to poor planning on my part, I did not have a camera and had intentionally left my phone at home, so no pic, but that little girl's ear to ear smile is permanently etched into my memory!
