    My daughter and I fished the Des Moines River on Friday.

    The fishing wasn’t as hot as the weekend before but it was a beautiful day to spend with her.

    We targeted two spots on the river that usually hold fish in the fall. Both spots would have produced fish but it seemed to be one of those days I could not land’em.

    My daughter slip bobbered with her Dora Pole, while I switched between casting a K Grub and a Phelps Floater with a chub. She had one fish on but lost it at shore. I was waiting for a 10lbs hog to latch on and yank the pole out of her hand……

    After losing several fish myself I finally landed this 12”. Glad I caught it when I did fore Olivia was getting impatience with me.

    It made her day to release the fish.

    I wish I could have gotten out to hit the river harder to see if I could get another pig but to spend a day with my daughter is worth more than a million pigs……..

    You know that’s the truth. Sounds like you two had a great day…even if the fish weren’t cooperating. Sometimes the fish are just a bonus.

    Yup! That is a great picture Kirk!

    I remember taking you and your brother when you both where young. My dad would take me fishing in the rivers and lakes around Algona when I was young and treasure the memories…

    Love you all!
