I remeber when I was her age......My dad, grandfather and broke off our normal sunday steelhead trip and went to the Willamette River in Oregon and did some sturgeon fishing.......I caught some pesky mudsucking bottom fish....it sure was ugly but I kept it next to me all day assuming I was going to take it home.....as we left later on that day....my grandfather threw it's dead carcass back in the water no knowning I thought I caught a prize(his intention was to kill it anyway cz they eat baby salmon)....In the backseat on the way home I was upset and barely holding back a tear.....anyway, my point is that she will remember this for the rest of her life...so good on ya dad....can't wait till mine is ready for his first trip in the bay....
