Creating a monster

[brockel]

My oldest has always enjoyed fishing but this year holy moly has her drive to go fishing just blown up. She’d go every night if we could. I finally talked her into going out on our little puddle jumper boat this year. We use to have a bigger boat but sold it when she was two. Might have to start watching for a deal on an older boat. “Dad we need something I can stand up in and doesn’t feel like it’s going to flip”. We went out for a little over an hour tonight. Perfectly calm night. Even caught herself a tagged walleye

Sounds like a great evening! That one crappie looks like a whopper

That is so cool. You're a lucky man.

That look on her face in the boat… so awesome. I distinctly remember that feeling, like it was all out there just waiting for me and all I needed was for my dad to get me there. This is the good stuff.

 

[rtraverdavis]

Also, I found your new boat.

 

[Salmonchaser]

Well done dad, she'll have a better life for what you're giving her now!

 

[Art Vandeley]

Awesome !

 

[Sytes]

You're not kidding! Haha! The first pic has a dialed in fish determination demeanor.
Grats pops!

That's quite the haul. Raising her right! Great memories there and great time spent together ... keep enjoying them ... they grow up fast.

I love everything about that picture. Keep fishing and keep sharing these kind of photos.

Exactly.

Brokel, if you don't mind I'd like to send her some lures. I guided for warmwater fish for 19 years and have quite a stockpile of plastic baits. If you'll PM me an address I'll put a package together. I don't have a cell phone for a text so HuntTalk PM is best.

My goodness look at that crappie!!

 

[TheNorthStar]

Holy smokes, that Crappie is a slab. Looks like a great day of fishing.

 

[BucksnDucks]

Absolutely love it. Having a fishing buddy for life is priceless. The look of determination in first photo followed by the smile of satisfaction and pride in cooler pic is perfect.

Awful generous of you. She’s been talking about needing to put her own tackle box together.

Thats amazing. I hope my kids get into it soon. So far they only care about casting as far as possible lol

 

[deer_shooter]

Awesome! That's quite a haul for a short evening.

Best excuse there is for a newer/ bigger/ better boat. My kids were definitely a factor in deciding to get a boat this year. My daughter may never be allowed to date when she gets older, but if she does go against my wishes at least it will likely be with somebody who can bait his own hook lol
