Youngest Granddaughter's first fish

Steuben Jerry · May 17, 2021

We had our youngest granddaughter Evelyn and our crazy (in a good way) granddog Beau for the weekend. We've got 4 grandchildren and I've put each one of them on their first fish (our two sons in law aren't fishermen). 3 of the 4 kids on this same little pond across the road from our house. It's full of stunted bass, bluegills, and sunnies. Good action for a little kid. You can usually hook fish on every cast, but nothing over 8 inches or so.

She's 3 years old and loves to try anything. She had a blast catching fish. Her first was a bass and she reeled in 11 fish by her little self and lost a few more. We were fishing until Mom and Dad arrived to pick her up and when it was time to go, in true fisherwoman tradition, we had to have "just one more cast" a bunch of times. Even then she said, "well, we can't go yet, we still have worms left".

Beau is almost a year old, and spent 95% of the weekend in physical contact with me. He's a super cool dog and he thinks he's a lap dog.

Great weekend for a grandpa!
