The ultimate victory!!

[Cal]

Well today I finaly did it, I succeeded in getting my 3 year old daughter hooked on fishing. She's come allong on all our fishing trips since she was a baby, last year she caught a couple fish but mostly she just liked to try to feed worms to the fish in the livewell.

This morning it was raining off and on so we just headed down to the river for some shore fishing. I tossed out some slip sinker rigs for me and my wife and then just helped my daughter. I rigged up an ice fishing rod with a split shot and a bare hook, I baited the hook with a marshmallow for floatation, and a minnow. Either me or my wife would just toss it out for her and let her reel it back in, sticking real close to lend a hand when she hooked somthing. I'm not sure if it was the slow, drift and reel presantation or just begginers luck but she just hammered those fish! My wife and me caught and released a few pike and walleye but my daughter could hardly make a cast without catching somthing, including these two walleye that we're going to have for supper with corn and macaroni salad, Man I love summer in Slave Lake!
