So, this spring while she was still 8, Isabella entered a casting contest. Her 1st cast, the kid running it told me she already did better than more than half the kids. By her 3rd cast, he told me she was doing better than 1/2 the adults (exactly why I don't enter).
A little later, we were talking with Chad LaChance. The kid came up with her prizes, and suggested she join the Northern Colorado JR Bass Club. She was stoked, but I was sketch.. I didn't want fishing to become competitive for her instead of fun. She really wanted to join, and we joined for a discounted rate, so...
Her 1st tournament was in Loveland. We had it all planned out. We'd bring her scooter, and race for a back pond at starting time. Well, the back ponds are still closed after the flood. Tough fishing, but towards the end of the tourney, she landed a nice Bass on a tube jig. Her fish was the 2nd biggest Bass of all, and she took 4th place! :biggrin1:
Early start! (especially from EP)
She caught a few sunfish trying for Bass
Fish On! I was so stoked for her!
Hit the playground for a little bit, waiting for everyone to gather
Prizes! (every kid gets to pick from a prize bin)
Our little Bass tournament angler! :biggrin1:
She wanted to stop at Bennetts after... ok
She was exhausted after..
I had promised to take her swimming after, and she woke back up
