Five year old kicks grandparents butt in Bluegill tournament


Ellie had her first fishing experience in a boat yesterday. Boy oh' boy did we all have fun! She'd already had plenty of experience at Grandpa Miller's pond, so her casting ability was right up there with the pros. She had no problem reaching in for a handful of worms to find the chosen Mr Wormy. Her tip, fish like WHOLE worms, so don't try putting a half worm on your hook. (you've got to listen to her since she's the one reeling them in one after another)

By the amount of fish she caught, you would think we were "letting" her be the big catcher, but that wasn't how it went at all. She just kicked our butts, fair and square. Apparently we weren't casting quite as fast as she thought we should and she had to remind us once why we were there. "Mimi? Are you just going to SIT there or are you going to fish?" I told her I was also mushroom hunting. (lame I know) Gogo had an artificial lure on and after observing his tactics, she said, "I'm tired of catching fish, put a "fake" one on my line too." Soon, I caught a fish which prompted, "Get me a real worm on! I've got to catch some fish."

After coming home, Perry couldn't quit talking about how much fun it was, and THAT it was!


Spongebob didn't quite work out like planned.




Where did this guy come from?

Yeah baby ....
