I too saw my oldest daughter (8 yrs old) catch her first fish this weekend. I took her Bluegill fishing to get her siked up on actually catching something and getting it in. She was a real go getter. She had a tough day but finally ended up catching 3 by herself . One bluegill, two tiny largemouth. She was gleaming like the sun. I finally heard the words that I have been waiting to hear so long. "Daddy when can we go fishing again." It's a great feeling. Once she gets totally hooked on this, maybe she'll branch out to bass fishing. Gotta start somewhere.
