Christian has been fishing for the last two years and would rather do that than anything else. We have some friends who have a pond and Christian is allowed to fish there whenever he wants. We decided to take him there for his birthday, Monday, August 21 with some friends. He usually catches crappie, blue gill and occasionally a small bass. However, on this day he caught his first bass that was probably 3 lbs. I asked my husband if he was going to keep it and he said that there had to be a bigger one. As luck would have it… Christian snagged this one and managed to get it out of the water by reeling and walking backwards while pulling his line. This was a big accomplishment for him because he is a small child. I have never seen him as excited as he was. He said that this was the best birthday he could have ever had. We live in Lewisburg, Tennessee. Submitted by, Theressa Belew Proud Grandmother
