Thanks everyone! Here's how it all went down: We set up on a rock point with a shelf. She casted out and landed on the bank, then scooted it in to the water. She was doing her thing, working it back to the boat. I asked her to reel in so we could move to the next spot. She casually said "I think I got one." I looked over and saw the line was tight and thought maybe she was hung on something. Then her rod tip moved and the fish started to pull drag. I was thinking cool she may have a little fish. It finally broke the top of the water and I couldn't believe what she had. I let her get it to the boat and I reached down and got out. It was a great moment.
Just before the trip, I respooled her line with 14 lb Berkley Vanish from an old spool I had, I guess it paid off. I'm not too proud to say I switched to the pink worms and started catching too. I told she had won today's fishing championship with the biggest bass. She told me her prize was to be the boss of the house for the rest of the day!

A cute kid and a proud papa... very cool! Congrats to your daughter on a bigger fish than a lot of folks ever catch. And way to go, Dad, for getting her out of the house and on the water. And about that "boss of the house for the rest of the day"... you know it lasts much longer than that, right, like until she leaves for college!
