My Daughter Caught Her First Fish Today!!

[jackieschmidt]

We had family and friends over for Easter Dinner today.

Several of us decided to go out back and do some fishing. My 46 year old daughter, who is a Master School Teacher, has never caught a fish.

I rigged her up a silver shad fluke and she hooked this baby. It liked to scared her to death, but she managed to reel her in.

She is absolutely thrilled.

There’s nothing like spending a day on the lake. Good for her!

Especially when the lake is in your back yard.

Here is a picture of my back yard from the edge of the lake, and the lake looking each way.

As they always say, “better late than never.” Congratulations to you both on that first catch. That bass is certainly a nice way to get started, and I’m sure it will remain a special Easter memory. Thank you for sharing.
