    Spent the morning fishing with my 5 year old on Pool 8 today. She is really taking an interest in fishing this year and, if I may say so myself, is getting pretty darn good! There is nothing more satisfying than watching your child really enjoying something that you enjoy as well. Needless to say I am a very proud dad. These pics are the fish that she caught completely on her own, and of those only the keepers. We had about 20 more that I hooked and let her reel in, including a few really nice fish, but she didn’t want pictures of these because she didn’t catch them by herself!! Quite the independant little lady, but that’s part of what makes her such a neat kid!

    Oops, thought I could post pics this way but it looks like it didn’t work. I’ll e-mail them to Moss Boss again and see if he can help me out.

    Way to go! My 11 year old is completely hooked on bass fishing, started taking him when he was 8…now my 5 year old boy is beginning to love it too! Keep taking her out, and very soon she’ll be pounding you and you’ll be very proud! Here’s one of my wife and boys w/a good one

    Nice pics and nice fish
    You’ve every right to be proud, although don’t expect the “Independent” part to get any better until she gets old enough to move out on her own. Then she’ll need dear old dad

    Wow! It’s hard enough to get most girls/women to even touch a fish let alone hold it properly, but a 5 yr old… Looks like a true fisher when she grows up!

    SCC,

    Great photos! Must be exciting for you to know that you will have a dedicated fishing partner for many years to come.

    I’ll second Brian on that. What an awesome picture. The gap in that big smile is classic.

    I’ve said it before: There’s a special place in Heaven for people who take kids fishing.

    Did she wander around the launch showing everyone her Bass Thumb?

    That’s when you really get to sit back and laugh.

    Especially when she shows it to guys that got skunked

    No, but she showed her bass thumb to her mom! Thanks for all the nice responses guys. We’ve been reading them together and she’s really getting a kick out of being a “celebrity”.
