My 7 year old daughters first real fish

Post by HumanClaymore »

My daughter came with me to see a friend in Tarpon Springs. She brought her little fishing pole and wanted to fish. Despite my protests, she chose a silver spoon and wanted a piece of frozen shrimp on the end. I figured she wouldn't catch anything, but she was insistent. She cast out, and in less than 2 seconds she pulled up this nice little red. You should have seen how excited she got fighting it! Definitely an awesome moment to be a dad.

This was an the Anclote Marina in Tarpon Springs last weekend. There were fish all through the river system there. Unless the weather change this week messed it all up, I recommend taking a 'yak or small craft out ad trying your luck.

Awesome! I love how her persistence was rewarded, this builds confidence, and honestly, if you are FULLY confident in what you are fishing with, it WILL catch fish 7 times our of 10. Good stuff! Keep keep her interested in fishing!

Thanks, guys. My 6 year loves fishing (she caught a few small grovers that day), but my eldest never really took interest until she caught this red. Now they both want to fish all the time, which is fine by me :)
