So, I decided that I wanted to enjoy the unseasonably warm weather on my B-Day and do a little fishing. Well.....leave it up to my daughter to catch the pond record. 20" HSB stocked August 2009 at 6"-8". I really like this fancy measuring device. I can't rememeber where I got it.....Scott, any idea where I would have acquired such a masterful measuring tool? Another nice LMB my daughter hauled in. Oh, by the way, the biggest LMB yet!

Great looking fish, good to see a young lady who enjoys catching and holding fish.

I can't decide which is nicer looking -- the fish or the girl. Now that I'm an old man I think I better say the fish. I think Scot got the measuring board idea from me, of which I got it from the INDNR. They use really big ones for musky.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

That had to be cold.. I've been knee deep In mine 3x's in te last week and it's cold not unbearable but definitely not swimming degrees.
I believe in catch and release. I catch then release to the grease.. BG. CSBG. LMB. HSB. RES.

Now if only someone would remember their weighing device to get a weight on the fish.......... Yes Cecil, I did copy what you had laying around. I still have material to make 2 more, and they are both spoken for already. Yes Friz, I haven't forgotten yours!!

Trying not to hijack, but seeing the headline made me think of our earliest swim record (which used to be April 24th). We worked all day cleaning up tornado damage and the kids were hot and sweaty. it was 70 out yesterday and they took the plunge. On the surface it is about 47 degrees, but with the storm run off and my cloudy water, I can only imagine how cold it is a couple of feet below the surface! My older daughter could only jump in once and said that it sucked all of the wind out of her.
Those are great fish. I have seen some of my 3-year-old bass swimming around in the shallows, but have yet to catch one this spring. Any one I get will be a new record for me.

If she'd go out hunting, we'd get more birds. She can outshoot Mikey.... It's funny, I don't hear anything about gun malfunctions unless the birds are flying away. I've heard everything from "I shot the choke tube out of my gun" to "the extractor isn't working and I couldn't get off another shot". I'll admit to loosing a part off of my 1100 last year, but I was still able to hunt with it. Methinks someone needs a different hunting gun!!

Since she can obviously take care of herself and could easily shoot some dirty ol' man, I changed my mind on whether the fish or she looks better. She looks better than any slimy fish! There I said it!

Too cool! Those are great fish and it's awesome to see she's also an accomplished shooter! You're doing the right stuff with her as a dad!
