I love watching my kids reel em in

It can sometimes be a pain trying to teach them, and it is very difficult to fish yourself with your kids that don’t yet know how. However, it is really fun watching them reel one in. Today, I took my daughter to the small creek where I learned to fish and we had a great time catching crawdads, throwing rocks, swimming, exploring, and fishing. She caught her first fish all by herself (except for me casting out for her). She saw the bobber go down, set the hook, and reeled it in all by herself. A small sun fish. She also caught her first bass today. A smallmouth. Proud daddy here.

Congrats to your daughter on her personal best (albeit first) smallie😁! Nithing better than the excitement that a kid has when they feel that tug on the line and the smile when they hold their first fish! I hope that there are many more firsts for you guys in the future and many more fish😁.

I especially like the way she held it for the camera. As if it were the most natural thing ever and she had done it hundreds of times. 😁
