Great Day....New PB...Daughter Still Beats Me

catch2288 · 07-02-10, 02:23 AM

My daughter and I got out yesterday for our 6th outing of the season. We caught a total of 9 largemouths between us putting our total for the season at 79. Previous to yesterdays outing we had yet to hit the 3 pound mark for the season with approximately eight 2 pounders of the 70 we had caught. My daugher was the first to break the 3 pound mark with a 3 lbs 6 oz and I caught a personal best by 1 oz at 3 pound 5 oz. My daughters pb is 4lbs 6oz. The scale toggled back and forth from 6 to 5 ounces on mine and finally settled at 5 ounces which gave her the win by an ounce......lol. We don't keep any fish, we simply get a weight when warranted and a picture and the fish goes back to be caught again another day. Last year was our first season of bass fishing and we've definitely have come a long ways since. I'm hoping to crack the 4 pound mark by the end of the season. It was a great day.......................

Kudos to you for spending quality father/daughter time and to her for putting on a clinic. I also love to take my daughter out and truthfully, I want her to outfish me every time. It's not that hard to do, according to her.

That is an excellent fish count.

Well done both of you!

thats awesome. I hope my daughter will go fishing with me as she gets older. She just turned two and Ive taken her out once and she threw a pole overboard..haha...definitely need a third person these days but I look forward to great fishing days ahead with her. Nice bass too!
