My little one got a pond slam today

[JestersHK]

Continuing my Bday weekend me and the girls got up and had 'big breakfast' as we try to do on the weekends. 

Making breakfast with my grandma is one of the last and best memories I have with her before she was killed in our car accident together when I was little...

I don't cook much, but when I make breakfast with my girls it takes me back to that time with her every time. 

Got off track there sorry... so after breakfast me and my youngest headed to the pond to pick on some fish.   At 10 she's got the spinning rod down pat and tied her on a hook and small bobber.  It was hot so we went right to work and she popped a nice red ear on her second cast using some power bait in orange.  Next she hooked a pretty decent size bass but it got in the weeds and came unbuttoned...

Next was a small crappie followed by a big bull blue gill.   She was kicking herself for losing that bass as we were discussing the pond slam and how she needed 4 species to claim it. 

I took her to one last spot and she tossed out and waited.  Her bait got just out of sight when she got the tug and a good bend in the rod.   She finally got that bass.

Nothing huge but a great time with my little one.

That's as good a birthday gift as there is!
