It was a small Largemouth bass. She was so excited and it's all she's been talking about all day. Apparently his name is Tommy and they're best friends.

I do. It was a half dead, already rotting trout. That same day I caught an old boot as if I was living in a cartoon. It was a bad omen for things to come. Since then, I caught more water moccasins than actual fish. I hate fishing.

damn that sucks! those snakes are sneaky, i mean i like snakes, but i wont mess with those venomous ones. my dad never catches anything. he mostly fishes with plastic lures so theres that. ive only had an easy time catching fish with live bait. specifically a time when i cought like 10 catfish. but it was a small pond so it was alot like shooting fish out of a barrel. they had no where to go

Lol, your dad is awesome. Each time I hooked a snake, we just cut the line. Not worth putting your hands near a pissed off, entangled pit viper! Won't even touch a rod nowadays, but tagging along for the bonding experience with friends and family is nice.

Edit: Oh yeah, each of those snakes were caught with live bait. "Shiners", we called 'em.

One of the few childhood memories of my dad was fishing from a wooden bridge. I wish I could remember where it was at because I'd love to revisit it but I do recall catching more fish than him and him congratulating me on every catch.

The reality was, he put me in a spot that he knew I'd catch a bunch of small fish even though they weren't anything you'd keep while he caught fish to bring home for mama to clean and cook.

I have quite a few rods and would be more than happy to give one away but you can also get a decent rod from Academy for less than $20. Grab a pack of hooks for $2 and some bait, and you're good to go.

Congrats to her! Fishing is fun.

That's awesome! Thanks for taking her out and helping to pass fishing down to the next generation.

My dad took me fishing a bit when I was a kid but I hadn't fished since. When I had kids for some reason I got this kick to start fishing. It's become a regular thing (that I spend WAY too much money on) but my girl has taken some interest so it's worth it to teach her something new.

It can get expensive. Now you just need to go buy a .

Lol I think I'll stick with the $800 Jon boat I've been eyeing.
