Hit the lake with my six year old daughter today. Set out to deep water right away, first drop im on, went to the back of the boat to get the net... forgot it at home so bounced him in. thought it was gonna be on since I was seeing marks all over the place. Didnt get another bite there so we switched it up to the reef and forest for nada. Started getting hot around 8 so we took a drive to cool off and hit the dam and se what's goin on over there. caught one dink on a stickbait. bunch of casts for nothin, gettting hot again and my daughter asks to go for another ride so I tell her ok, couple more casts. I let it soak for a good while and wind in. It feels like my line is around a rock, until that rock surges for deep water, My daughter says "daddy thats a big one." 6 pound line, no net, im sketchy if ill get this toad to the boat. I get it away from the rocks and a couple nice surges later I get her head turned and she glides up to the gunwale and opens her mouth up for me. LUCKY! Now my girl is screaming her head off like i just dragged a shark onto the boat "put it back, put it back!" I get her to calm down and take some pics for me, after a little TLC that fish I've been trying to catch for a couple years bolts back down to the bottom to be caught another day.

Finally, I think I'll have a beer today.

Lol, I asked her why she was scared because she has caught plenty of fish and isnt scared of them. I think it was my yelling that scared her. I was channeling Mike Iaconelli.

Skinny,

That is a fish of a life time! I've had one so close to a DD at Perris; but didn't quite make it....had the body of a 12 lber. Still trying.

A Killer Fish for sure...Congrats!
