Not a crappie but...

My brother took my daughter and i to a private lake over in Missouri saturday and my 10 year old got this fella while we were out in the rain. The look on a 44lb 10 year old little girl when a mid 10lb (estimated) largemouth hits her ultralight crappie rig...well its priceless.

I have a pic on my phone of it laying beside her reel before we put it back. That is the size reference....its side fin is as big as her abu g. The "zing" sound was something! Her face (as if that drag wind meant she had done something wrong) made me the happiest dad on the planet at that moment.

WHAT A FISH!!!!! That's just awesome

Congrats to her. She'll be hooked from now on.

Wow!! I used to take the niece trolling cranks in our HOA lake, she hooked a 10" bass, about 5' from the boat a bass like that, the mouth looking 8" wide, came up and chomped that smaller bass and ran off, it held on so tight that she fought it for a couple of minutes, that smaller bass was still hook and was completely scaled by the time she landed it.

Fish of a lifetime right there....congrats to daughter and dad, both!

That's incredible! Good job, dad.

WOW!! That's a Huge fish. Congratulations to your daughter. :highfive

That big smile on her face is priceless.

I guess you know she will expect for you to take her every time and to catch an even bigger one.

Thanks for the story and the pics.

WOW!

That's so cool.

That is huge, way to go. I can't wait to see what she catches when you take her crappie fishing.

Priceless!!!!

the smile on her face is telling the story,,Dads gonna have to get himself a bigger hat size,,

WOW!!! I don't think I have ever seen a bass that big, other than on TV. what a catch, congrats to both of you!

:hesaidX 2 . Congrats .

That little lady joins an elite group of people who fish ... not many of us can claim we caught a 10 lb. bass.... my personal best is only 7.5 lbs. I'm not even close to her! And she caught it on ultra light. The slab crappie had better look out for her!

What a great story! Thanks for sharing. Holy smoke is all I can say.

Good for your daughter and for you!

Wow what a fish. Great job. Thats priceless and I'm a little jealous.

That's a great fish for sure. Congratulations to your daughter. That's what it's all about

Wow.......I was expecting a story about a big ole catfish..........that is way better. That is one of the coolest stories I've heard in a long time. Good for her!

Super Cool!

Nice job lil one. She'll remember that for a while.

Wow!!!

Nice, I fished for 25 years before I ever caught one like that...

That's one proud child, and a proud dad. Day will never be forgotten.

holy moly

That's a fish of a lifetime. Congrats to her.

Priceless !!!!! Wish I could catch one that big!
