Riah's First Fish

Today, Riah went t spend time with her favorite person in the world, her granpa, or "Papa". They went to his house on Lake Lucrene in Cedar Downs, which was recently restocked with fish. Mark (Papa) had just caught a 13" trout and handed Riah the pole to "fish" with. But she soon had a bite on the line. Since she had trouble holding the pole with her tiny hands, he pu t her in his lap and let her reel the fish in herself.

After 30-40 minutes, she did just that. The result was a 26" trout that is only 10" shorter that Riah herself.
When they got the fish in the boat, it flopped around a lot and freaked Riah out a bit.



That's why she wasn't too excited about the big fish once she got back home.

As you can see, the fish is two-thirds of her height.

The joys of living near a lake fo Riah is that she loves the water, and is apparently a pretty good fisher.
