Excellent! Please pass on my congratulations.

Thumbs up Awesome!

I love seeing the kids out there. I really love it when they catch large.

That really is a Hallmark Moment...

Congrats to your daughter on the lunker!

And congrats to you for raising a good kid who likes to spend time with her old Dad - the world could use a lot more of that, I think

Of course...if we got to see the catch, then I think we oughta see a little of the footage of Dad cutting a rug, too...

Hey, it's only fair...

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

Great fish and awesome pic! The smile on yor daughter's face says it all. You're lucky to have a daughter who likes to fish and she's just as lucky to have a dad who takes her fishing!

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

I the hustle and bustle of our everyday world, it is refreshing to see a youngster with the patience for fishing (and her ol' man)

I have a handful of neices and nephews that will fish, but only a couple have displayed the patience that true fishing requires.

One neice spent over an hour with me this past winter jigging perch and sunnies up in Winnipesaukee. It even impressed me more that she was able to catch fish without me having to do all the work.

I can't see far enough into the future to tell if they will continue to enjoy fishing as much as I do, but they do enjoy hanging out with "crazy uncle Tim", so I can live with that.
