Title: Daughter gets her trophy!
Post by: Binder on December 03, 2012, 05:06:58 AM
My daughter has had only one goal since seriously taking up fishing, wiping her brothers nose in it!  ;D


Daughter decided she wanted a serious shot at the fishing club championship this year, after she had to accept her brothers trophy for 3rd place last year when he couldn't make the presentation night, she decided she wanted to be collecting her own Trophy!

So I got dragged out to every comp this year as daughter got down to the serious business of kicking her brothers but!,

All paid of for her Friday night at the annual trophy night, with her taking out Midget of the year (under 12's).
Couldn't wait to get home to show her brothers.

Brother got all cranky and proceeded to inform her of his past winnings, (not insubstantial, having won a small boat and a holiday in comps when he was younger)
Daughter just told him to stop living in the past, she was now the family's champion fisher! 

Shield has pride of place in the display cabinet so "brother can see it on his way out the door every day!"

I told her she would have to give it back at the end of the year, she said thats ok, she was going to win the Junior division next year, thats a bigger trophy  :o
Doesn't look like any respite from the comps for poor dad!

There is probably a grumpdad category as well, so it wouldn't always have to be me!  ;)
