The girlfriend was buggin me for about 2 weeks to take her fishing. So last week we went out and got her fishing license and I took her to Mogadore. We got skunked from the Jon Boat. Well this past weekend, I decided to take her to another spot near my parents house. She catches on pretty fast. Never really fished in her life, and never got a fish, I thought this was going to be an adventure. The wind was blowing pretty good, so the casting of a spinning reel and navigating the overhead trees and such, I figured I would be untangling line all day. I started off casting out for her and setting the hook on some gills. After about 10 of those, I asked her if she was paying attention to what I was doing, she said yes. So I turned over the controls to my girlfriend. Well, she casted probably better than me. As soon as she casted out, she said she had a fish. I was like yeah right!!!! Well she did, and of coarse it was probably one of the biggest crappie that I have seen come out of this pond we were at. Being that it was her first fish ever, and the crappie went 11", not a monster by anymeans, but not bad for a first fish, I am mounting it for her. She asked me if we could keep it, I told her she could keep it forever after I taxidermy'd it for her. So she kept casting and catching fish, baiting her own hook, and taking the fish off the hook as well. I showed her all this in about 5 min. She is a quick learner I guess. Then I started thinking....She was using my brand new St. Croix rod and Quantum reel, while I was using a Berkly Cherrywood rod. Now shouldn't it be the other way around. Oh, well....I am just glad she had a good time. I might have a fishing buddy for life now, cause thats all she talks about is when are we going. A funny thing she said was " we are running out of bait" I about fell over....She wanted to go get more bait....I think I found a good woman...
