A couple weeks ago I had told my daughter we would go to a kids fishing event one of my buddys does every year called the Mini Me Classic. It's a great event where parents take their young kids out to fish in a fun tournament. Well, the day comes and my wife has to work at the last minute so there is no way we can get there since I have small pickup truck to pull the boat and four kids. So we decided to have our own tournament here at home for the most fish caught between my daughter and myself. We didn't get out till late in the day and the fish were in a tougher post spawn bite. It's usually easy to catch a bunch of small ones here since it's a small private lake with stunted fish and the fish always bite something but you don't see many big ones. It was tied up with two fish each when we decided the next fish would win it. Then, I set the hook on a big one with six pound line. My daughter got the camera and turned it toward me and got the fish on video about the time it made it's first jump. Here is the video and a couple photos.

Very cool!

I enjoyed the clip and a fantastic fish.

Funny and exciting !!! nice job both of you !!!

Great video. Your little girl was having almost as much fun as you with that fish.

That's great, thanks for sharing. That video will be a whole lot better in 10 years when you two watch it again.

Thanks for sharing. Some of my best memories are fishing with my dad, who I lost to cancer at a too young age.
