She had her little fishing rod that she had been asking for. I was casting it in for her and she was just winding it in, after about an hour of that she decide to let it sit in the water like mine. Well it wasn't in there for 5 minutes when it started bouncing, she was holding onto her rod but wouldnt wind the handle and was saying "Help Daddy". i wound it in and it was a bloody 40cm cod on there. I didnt get a photo as i was in a hurry to get it back in the water.
I went to a fishing comp on the weekend and had a ball,m the wife and kid stayed at home and apon my return and telling of the events my Mrs decided she would like to have a go at fishing and wanted a rod.
Off to the shop today and i grabbed her an Ugly stick, took some talking for her to belive that it was a good rod and not a suitably titled stick

Went down the river tonight with the tribe and we were sitting there and i had just finished explaining to the Mrs what to do if she gets a bite. She says to me "am i doing this right?" i turn around and her rod has a bit of a bend in ti and she is hauling in a fish, jumped down the bank and grabbed her first ever cod for her, it was only 35cm but she was rapt.
About 15 mins later she goes "you better help me!" i turn around and her bloody rod is bent like a bastard, i told her to hold it high and the drag was going off, there was an allmightly splash on the surface and her 20lb line was floating in the breeze like a cobweb. I have caught a few cod myself but i can say this one would have been at least 90cm from what i saw.
She wasnt fussed about loosing it and explained that we will just catch it next time.
If i can get the pic of her phone il post it of the one she caught.
Here is a pic of my little girl the other week.
