I called in sick Thursday and took the grandkids to Vernonia pond. We (10, 8, 6 year olds) fished from the bank with no luck. One of the floating fishing platforms opened up and we moved over to greener waters.

Still no luck, kids getting board and my granddaughter wasn't watching her pink Barbie pole.

Splash ... all I see is the faint color of the pink pole going to the bottom.

I grab grandsons camo GI Joe pole, put on a nordic jig with treble hook and start to dredge the bottom. 15 of so min. later I snag the line and get Barbi pole to shore.

Granddaughter starts reeling in the line, "Papa theres a fish on my line"
5 or so min later this is the fish on her line.
