Bass: This is my fiances first fish ever! she caught it while we were fishing a small, small creek by our campsite. I thought i would give this small creek a chance, hoping for some small browns or brookies. I spent all morning there as she watched me get skunk-fisted by this small creek. Then she decided to toss on a worm and walk to this small pool. As she walked up to it there was a loud splash, which startled her. I said "What was that" she said" i think it was a fish!" so she tossed in her small worm and big red/white bobber and as soon as that worm hit the water her float went down and she started freakin! i got one! i got one! she didn't have her drag setup so i had to run along the creek and loosing the drag for her. needless to say she was a pro at it. pull up, reel down, and repeat.. i was suppose to catch dinner, but she decided i was taking too long!
