Shortly after the photo was taken, my little girl decided it was easier to throw the pole at the fish and then promptly emptied half a basket of laundry into the tub, apparently trying to drown the fish.
A good lesson was learned...we'll be starting with a cane pole this spring rather than the Shimano/G.Loomis combo I told the Mrs. I bought for the little one
