EdB Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 After my buddies big fish earlier this week, I couldn't wait for Saturday morning and fishing with my girls. We had a great morning. My 6 year old daughter Veronica gets her first master angler fish. It was a 12-3/16 inch slab red ear. It weighed 1 lb 5 ozs. I had just dropped a minnow down the hole and this fish came charging in for it but stopped short. I told Veronica to pull up her bait, a waxworm on a super glow jig. She did, he hit it and Veronica stuck him. It was a good fight for her on an ultra light spinning rod. The drag was screaming at times. This one is going on the wall. Dad was sure proud! He really knows how to hang one out in front of the camera. A more realistic view. My shanty has a 3 x 3ft hole, it's like watching an aquarium. We knew this was was a slab when he came in. We didn't hit a lot of fish today but we saw quite a few. It was kind of neat that Veronica was wearing her oldest sister's hand me down coat. Olivia got this master angler spec when she was 6 yr olds. It was the biggest crappie entered in the 08 Master angler program. I think I posted it here back then. That is a lucky fishing jacket!

Nailer Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Ed, that's fantastic for Veronica and you. Here's a big celebration for Veronica
Priority1 Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 ^5s Veronica and Ed. It's so cool to share our sport with kids. Her wide smile says it all.

JWheeler Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Wow, looks like some fish that are jacked up on steroids, SLOBS!
huntingfool43 Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Nice job Veronica. Congatulations on your master angler catch. Way to get the kids interested in the outdoors Ed, something a lot more parents need to do.

Phishy Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 There's nothing better than a kid getting a trophy through the ice!!
Adam Bomb Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Dang those fish are HuGe!!! Congratulations to you and the kids, looks like you all had a great time out there.
Last Pass Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Man, those are some nice panfish. I can still remember the first time my dad took me ice fishing. Been hooked ever since.
EdB Posted January 25, 2010 Author Posted January 25, 2010 Matt, they have been catching salmon for 2 years now. They love it on the boat.
A-Fishy-Anado Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Very nice! I can hardly wait until my daughter is old enough to get out there with me.
Just Hook'n Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 I'd wear that coat if I could catch fish like that. Where can I get one?
