I took my 8 year old niece fishing for her first time at a local lake. I rigged a slip sinker plunking rig with two Berkley Gulp! eggs on a barbless size 8 single egg hook. I told her to wait for the rod tip to jiggle, but there was no jiggle on the bite. The semi-tight line just went slack. I told her to reel up and set the hook and she did perfectly! A nice 12 inch rainbow. The only bite we'd get all day. I think she's hooked!

Absolutely awesome! Would love to see a pic, those smiles are always the best. Congrats to her and thanks for introducing another person to one of the things we are so passionate about!

Gotta love the first fish, and fishing puns. 
Re: My Niece Caught Her First Fish Today!
Way to go - get her out every chance you can. I love taking my 9-year old daughter out and she loves to go.
