I had the pleasure of finally meeting my step-daughter, Sam, she's 13.

We went on the boat Friday evening with little success, I caught 4 and her dad caught 1 but none for Sam

Sunday after church I did a very "squirrely" thing. Yes, ME! We took Sam tubing, she had a blast!

Yes guys, that's me, in a dress

Monday evening we went back out fishing. The bass weren't cooperating too well, again I caught 4 and it was looking like a skunk for the other two. Suddenly Sam yelled...Got one! Her first ever bass....

It took a little encouragement and convincing to get her to hold it but she finally did. 2 1/2lbs, not bad. After the excitement calmed she asked "How long before I'm catching like you"? I think she's hooked.

She was much more afraid of the bass than the Rottie.

She had to leave out last nite. I miss her but it was a great first meeting.

Sounds like a blast, always good when you can get someone new hooked on such a great thing!

 Sounds like you're well on the way to having a great bond with her, which is not always easy with step-kids...

gaw, that looks fun! 8-)

that picture of her holding the bass is adorably cute.

It should have a caption. How about

"OOOOOh,  this was sooooooooooooo much fun, but it feels kinda yucky"

Well done deb.

She looks so sweet.  It looks like you are off to a good start.  Those are genuine smiles.  I'll keep you, and her,  in my prayers.

And Catt, no I haven't been able to fish much lately due to getting moved and planning for this baby. I hope to get out there again soon.
