My little one shares the same passion for bass fishing as I do.  For a 6 year old she displays a lot of patience.  In fact, there's times when we're not catching that she has more patience than me.  Last weekend was special.  After reeling in a few fish for dad she really was complaining about not catching one on her own.  Then it happened, she said "Dad I got one".  I gave her my usual response, "I'm sure it probably just weeds Ava" and then she said the magic words as she had listened to me before.  "No dad I can feel it swimming".  She was sure right and got to catch one all by herself displayed in the excitement of the top photo.  For those of you dads with girls who are hesitant to take them fishing, girls can fish too

 

**Edit- One more special part of the story she didn't catch that fish on a Barbie pole or even a Zebco push button reel.  She caught it on a Stradic spinning reel and a 7'1" spinning rod that I had taught her how to cast that morning.

Great stuff double F! Hope her love affair with fishing continues.

Great time ??

Mine is almost two now.. hopefully won't be long til I'm making memories like this one with her. 

 

Thanks for sharing 

That's awesome!

Great time! Enjoy these years 

WTG Ava!  Congrats to both of you.  The smile says it all...

I had to teach myself bass fishing because all me and my father did was catch sunnies. The only lure he uses for bass are rooster tails. I'm glad you and your daughter had fun!

thats awesome! heck i'm jealous, I would like one of those reels. way to go AVA! great catch

Girls absolutely can like to fish.  It's amazing that dad's would exclude them.  My daughter likes fish more than my son.  She is also 6 and hopefully will land her own any day now. 

Thats awesome, congrats! I have a soon to be 1 year old daughter that i cannot wait to take fishing (obviously still have a while to go). I so look forward to those daughter and dad fishing trips. 

One of my best fishing buddies!
