Slab-o-rama today, with a special guest!

"Whatever you do, don't drop that rod in the water, OK? Allright - now cast right THERE. Count to two-Mississippi and reel slow ..."
Thump! Zizzzzzzz.
Took dear daughter fishing. She is a successful young urban professional; hasn't fished since she was in grade school. I handed her my Limber Tip/Presso rigged with a trout magnet (boy did they like Bison color today), gave her a 15-minute refresher on how to cast, and got her on some fish. After she caught her second 1 lb plus slab, she got serious, and it was on. I got outfished! Cloudy, front coming in, spitting rain, WINDY, she took it like a trooper, and we wore out some slabs. We only kept 3 males for supper and let the rest go. When a wind knot hopelessly snarled up the Evergreen, I handed her the Realfinesse STS/Revo Extreme, and said "keep fishing - I'll deal with this". What a killer day. Saw some cool birds including a bald eagle that sat high on a tree and watched us. I live for days like this. :heart

Nice slabs M
Daughters make great fishing buddies!

That’s awesome! Very cool to spend time with your daughter on the lake.

Jawja, that could be a pic of my young daughter in my Jon. Excellent fish, true slabs. My daughter also loves to fish and has outfished me more than once. Like you also said, we live for days like this. She and I once fished for 2 hours and 15 minutes after work one Friday. 11 crackers up to her and my PB’s and 15 of those big gills I post pics of. I still smile every time it comes to mind. Sorry, didn’t mean to hijack.
