One of the highlights of our trip for Julia was going fishing. She talked about it for weeks before hand and practiced with her rod before we left. I tied a magnet to the end of the fishing line and she “fished” for things that would stick to it! On our second day at the lake Grandpa Herb set her rod up with a hook and bobber and Julia and Grandma Su-Su set-up a worm house to keep the two dozen worms Uncle Jeff brought her and she was ready. She fished that day and every day after.
She ended up with quite a tally of fish too… mostly small perch but on the last day she caught two bass each about 6-8 inches long! She reeled in most of the fish (including the bass) pretty much on her own although she drew the line at touching the fish once it was out of the water. She had no problem with the worms though and was dubbed the wormgirl by her dad!
Here’s Julia and her catch checking each other out!
