That is awesome man. Congrats on a great day. I need to start fishing with you if you let the fellow fishing passengers snooze on the way to the fishing spot. 
Daughter's First Fish
I now have 3 kids. Boy, girl, girl. Our newest is 7 weeks old, and my older daughter turns 3 in a few weeks. This afternoon I had the two oldest munchkins while Mom could get away with the baby and her mother. I chose to take them bank fishing at a friend's pond. This is the same location of my son's first trip a few years ago.
We started things off with a quick strategic nap on the ride out after lunch.
This pond always delivers and my daughter caught her first fish, a small shellcracker. She then proceeded to put all of us to shame with bream after bream on her snoopy rod. This is her fighting and holding first fish.
My son lost interest and was "exploring" while she was slaying the fish. She was asking to hold the worms and playing with the fish in our bucket. Overall, I was very pleased with her enthusiasm, willingness to handle the fish, and skill with the rod. I did all the baiting, casting, and un-hooking, but she did the rest.
She also has my son's camera prowess, snapping this pic of me and our biggest bream, a nice shellcracker. They wanted to take this one home, but it was the only keeper we caught, so back into the pond it went.
I caught one bass and lost two others. I'm sure you'll see all 3 of us in a canoe this summer.
