Well it was windy as could be, but my kids wanted to go fishing so i couldnt say no. We decided to just go to my buddies pond not far from my house. Got there about 4 this afternoon and the water was freezing. My 9 year old daughter was throwing a 6" zoom finesse worm and i was throwing several new hard baits i had got for Christmas. I caught a couple of small bass around a pound each, which is about normal size for the pond and let my son & youngest daughter reel them in. We fished for about an hour and my oldest daughter hadnt caught anything, but the wind had gotten really bad so i told her that we needed to go. She asked could she make a few more casts, so i told her yeah. I started loading everything back into the Jeep and shes start screaming. I thought something was wrong until i turned around & saw her rod bent way over. I took off running to help her get the fish in. She fought it all the way in and i grabbed it when she got it to the bank. Weighed it at 4.14lbs on my digital scale. Thats her biggest to date. Now shes bragging about it to everyone and wont let me live it down that shes caught the biggest bass in our family so far this year. Lol. Makes me proud and shes fired up ready to do some more fishing now!!
