The wife, kids, and I went out on Sunday to Offut lake for a few hours. My oldest Madilyn (3) got her first fish. Here is the video. Watch until the end and you will see why rod-leashes are important.

I have a 3yr old granddaughter named Maddie (Madison) too - and she has the same pink Barbie pole. Can't wait until she gets her 1st fish, too. Great job getting your kids out on the water and introducing them to a great sport...

  How very precious--- thanks for sharing that Antony
Life is short---live it tall.

Be kinder than necessary--- everyone is fighting some kind of battle.

Sailors may be struck down at any time, in calm or in storm, but the sea does not do it for hate or spite.
She has no wrath to vent. Nor does she have a hand in kindness to extend.
She is merely there, immense, powerful, and indifferent

Damn! Now I have more competition on the water!
 Precious memories there.

Thanks Everyone!

She is begging to go again. She wants to catch a shark. I think we may go and try to play around with some dogfish out on the sound.

Awesome!  My kids are all grown but I remember how excited they were!  I also have a one year old granddaughter, with more on the way!  So fun watching kids catch fish.

I commend you for taking your kid fishing.  That alone makes you a hero.  But next time, keep your hands off the rod.  Give her the full experience, and let her catch her own fish. Watch the video again and you'll see what I mean.
