I remember being that age and fishing with my dad. Even if I didn't catch anything it was a blast fishing tourneys with him.
Hopefully that fish will keep her loving to fish.
My wife always asks me why I fish. I always tell her because you never know what is going to be on the end of your line. I tell her I love the anticipation of catching a big one. And when I showed her this story...she says I think I understand now.
