Ready to go!

Caught her first redfish a couple weeks ago. Took her a while to get her in but she did it mostly on her own using a Penn 2000 and a popping cork. She thinks she’s a pro now!

Cherish these times, she’ll be grown up and gone before you know it!!!
No kidding. 2000 Penn. That fish. Certainly a pro. You’ve got your work cut out for you Cap. Good on you too, I hope to be able to do that when/if I have kids.

Sweet! Keep up the great work Chip!! My daughter, Morgan, just turned 17 a couple of weeks back. All she wanted for her birthday was a new rod and reel. She has better rigs than all of her male friends and outfishes them on a regular basis. She takes pics. to prove it.
Gail, she wants to go this weekend. Makes for a happy papa!!!
Larry, she’s been talking about it all week. She tells everyone she meets too. Its pretty cute!
Dfreedom, you need to make 23 or peapod take you fishin!
Optiker, it was a special day. We don’t get much time together just the 2 of us. I need to spend more time individually with my girls.
boatpoor, I can already see it flashing before my eyes!
Northchuck, they were both pretty worn out when it was over!
Scott, that’s awesome! She turns 5 in a couple weeks and asked for a rod and reel for her birthday, warmed my heart!! I got a bunch of popping corks in the mail. She asked who’s they were and I told her they were all her’s. You would have thought she won the lottery…if only a bag of popping corks made her happy for ever…

You won't believe how fast it'll happen , seems like just yesterday my daughter was doing the same thing , now it's my grand daughters begging POP to lets go fishing. Go as often as possible!!!!!:smiley::smiley:
Awesome post! Its things like this that restore faith in people: that there are good Families out there. When I was her age I was the same way; you couldn’t keep a rod from my hands! Great job!

Great job Chip! She will remember days like that forever. I know I tell my kids plenty of stories of fishing as a family growing up.

OFM, PM me your address. I’ve got a birthday present I’d like to send her. We can’t do enough for our kids. Mine grew up boating, fishing and hunting with me. He’s 28 now and has good sense. He came out and spent the weekend with us. We wasted 1,000 rounds of ammo, and laughed a lot, had a great time, cooked out, enjoyed each other. You can’t take those early years back, use them wisely and it will pay off for the rest of your life
