Kiddo did great out there! PB Walter for her.

My oldest made me proud yesterday afternoon.  At 13 she's come a long way as far as fishing goes.  She's already quite the jig fisherman.  She also gets mad at them and will fish with me even through the slow stuff.  Yesterday we had a great 3 hours together, and made some awesome memories.

We got down at 6 yesterday so she could try her new waders out.  Grabbed both fly rod and ultralights and headed up by outlet one.  Not much going on up there so we headed up by the cable.

As the water was dropping out it wasn't long before she got hit on her white and gray jig.  First fish was a white bass, followed by another one.  

Then her rod got hammered.  I looked over and the little ultralight was bent way over.  She remembered to keep her rod tip up and played the fish like a pro on the 2lb test line.  

Finally she was rewarded with a chunky 24in walleye.  Biggest fish that she has ever caught. At first we we're going to eat him, but we let him go as it was a special fish for her and she did not want to harvest him. 

After that the rainbows she was catching lacked the excitement, but she continued to catch and outfish her dad lol. 

I'll add to this thread of we have time to get back out again as well.

My Goodness! Frame the pictures, write the date and location on the back, and give them to her when she is grown. Some day her children will marvel over them. Your grandchildren and great grandchildren will remember her and you. Life is good.
