[2018 Ice Fishing Picture/Story Contest]

[Brochet]

My 6 yr old daughter's 1st time ice fishing:



After waiting for hours, she saw our flag up and ran over and started hauling it in.  She needed help ("its a really big tug Dad ! ") so I left the jigging rod propped up and joined her.  We barely had time to take this photo when we saw the jigging rod (actually her first little kid pole) disappear down a hole.  She was so excited with her catch she didn't even mind losing her old pole.  But we wonder what was the big fish that stole it !
