Default Daughters First Walleye

Posted this on another site but felt the need to share here also.

I'm really proud of her. First walleye 29". Caught in the Leech Lake Mn. area. Fish was CPR'ed.

Wow! Great job and congratulations to both of you. It's cool of you to take your daughter fishing. That's a memory that will stick with both of you for a long time.

Thanks for the kind words.

I had been catching some nice bass on the spot we were fishing ( very close to the dock). I felt bad that she wasn't catching and had been trying to give her my trolling rod. She keep saying no. The next thing I know, I get a bass on and she hooks into this fish. At first it fought like a small bass. She was telling me how far the fish was out ( line counter reels ) so I could unhook my bass and net her fish. She was saying "30 feet out, 20 feet out then 10 feet out, 10 feet out, 10 feet out". I looked at the reel and nothing was moving. That's when we saw it on the surface and it wanted to go back down. Now the fight was on!!!

She insisted on releasing the fish herself after a few photos.

Mike
