Fishing Stuff, From Fishing Line, Albq Journal, June 2, 2011

This article is titled “This Time the big one did not get away.” There is a picture of the little six year old girl with her grandpa showing off a 40 inch Tiger muskie. Here’s what happened. Little Anastasiah Alfaro was fishing with her grandpa at Quemado Lake, using her Little Princess Rod and Reel. She hooked a 12 inch trout and was working hard reeling it in, when all of a sudden she says to grandpa, “Grandpa, I think I’m stuck on the rocks.” Grandpa checked and said, “No, I think you got a big fish. Her grandpa, Anthony Alfaro said, “I thought there was no way she was going to bring that in, but she beached it.” This 40 1/4 inch Tiger Muskie weighted in at 17 pounds and had swallowed up the 12 inch trout. Lake officials told grandpa they had not seen anything that big caught out of their waters. The picture shows a cute, smiling Anastasiah standing next to the fish and she looks to be only 2 or 3 inches taller than the fish……Good job, Anastasiah…I am proud of you….Good job, Grandpa, I’m glad you’re spending some time fishing with Anastasiah…..Grandpa’s of America, take your grand kids fishing….It’s fun……

17 pounds!!! Little Anastasiah probably didn’t weigh much more than that. At that age, if I had hooked that big of a fish, I’d probably thrown the rod and reel at it and run for my life. Some people are extremely lucky at fishing; most are unlucky; a few are just afraid of the unknown waters and the varments inhabiting those waters.

This cute young lady landed this one and it looked like a monster. She did well…

I remember fishin with my Pappy for the first time; at least I think I do. I don’t remember which part of TX we lived in, but I remember standing on what seemed like a really wide and long dock. Of course, I was a ‘girly girl’ and didn’t want to touch the worms, or any fish. I watched and waited for that bobber to go under, but all I think I caught was some weeds. Do you remember that Pappy?

I think it was Tyler and you were so cute..If you had cqught something it would have probably scared you…The important thing is you and I were fishing together, huh? Paps
