Took my 5 yr. old grandson to Camanche Lake (one hour southeast of Sacramento) yesterday. I got the first rod out and busy rigging up the other rods... when my grandson said "Dandad, A fish just took your pole into the water!!!". I saw my rod about 10 feet out in waist deep water... I jumped in and was able to retrieve it. I passed the rod off to my grandson and the fight was on. My wife took these photos and video... the happy results were an 18" rainbow trout and my expensive St. Croix trout rod. Like the advertisement for Mastercard says... "some things are priceless" and this memory is one of them!! Enjoy the photos and be sure and watch the video!
