My Daughters First Fish
Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime.
I am a very proud and honored dad to be able to teach my 4yr old and my 6yr old daughters to fish. I was probably more exited than she was to see it come to fruition. She caught a pumpkinseed on her second cast and a while later she caught a little softshell turtle.
The turtle got off right as she got it on to the boat ramp we were fishing from, so like any good dad, I jumped into the river and chased it back to my daughter. We brought it home and put it in an aquarium and she named it Pinky Pie. It has a little snapping turtle friend in there my 6yr old named Shelly.
My 6yr old got skunked but she had a lot of fun and now they are hooked😀🐢🐟
Keep casting and help somebody.
A great catch for the novice angler )))
They were very excited about the whole process. They went crabbing today and had a blast.
Great catch! Is that a bluegill? What pound test is her line? I was raised on a rainbow trout farm. Love to fish. =)
It is a bluegill or pumpkinseed. I think they are the same thing. It was 8lb test on a Shakespear combo rod.
Pumpkinseed have just a tad more of a spotted gold color and an orange spot in the front of the gill cover.
EXCELLENT.
Also, give a man some steem, he will have some steem. Teach a man to steemit, the sky's the limit!
Love them turtles, that's like the bonus points in the fishing game. Jumped in a lake after a snapper today myself.
BTW - I really like the images! Good work!
Thanks so much for your help. Can't wait to tet those peppers.
I can try to imagine ho happy YOU are))
It makes me very happy, thanks.
I was gonna say she caught me... but I'm just a minnow and that guy is a little bigger ;-)
Actually I'm more like Algae!
Lol. She couldn't understand why we had to put it back. I told her it had to grow up and then we could catch it and eat it.
I think we all felt that way at the start. I stopped caring about the money and just post what I want to. I really love the community here too. My usual photo host went down and I had a really hard time figuring out how to deal with a new one. @papa-pepper helped and so did some people in the chat room. You really aren't alone on here, just reach out. I loved your post about the camper. Tell some more stories about what you love and the love will come back.
Thanks, the money isn't a big thing for me either. I'd like to post more stuff but I find time slips away as I'm getting older with other things going on. I have too many hobbies I think :-)
We had so much fun! And I must say that I felt a great deal of pride to watch my youngest girls casting their own lines. They did a very good job!
They had a great mom helping out!
Well done little miss!
I remember going fishing with my dad about that age, I think I was too impatient to actually catch anything though.
They both did so great! We took them crabbing today. They caught 8 keepers and a lot of little ones!
she is so cute and looks please enough with her catch. :-)
