9# Walleye on Barbie Pole!!!

[gunflint]

I caught a news item on Fox this morning about a Minnesota girl who caught a 9# walleye on a "Barbie" fishing pole. Does anyone have more info on this?

It was caught on a leech on millacs. I think they also said she caught another nice fish on a spiderman pole.

Proving once and for all, the Barbie pole is clearly superior to the Snoopy pole. This should put the skeptics in their place

i dont know why the pros dont use barbie and snoopy poles. is it because the poles are pink and red instead of black

Looks like I will need to purchase a Barbie pole to increase the size of my catch.

It said it took her like 10 minutes to bring it in

Sadly enough it was kept to be mounted with the pole

My question exactly shamalex -

Nothing wrong with a father mounting a fish like that for his daughter. This young girl will probably fish the rest of her life now and be telling this story to everyone who sees this fish on the wall.

Those Barbie fishing poles do wonders 2 summers ago while fishing lake Susan in Chanhassen off the pier my daughter caught a 4 pound northern and a 16in bass with hers.

Barbie scores again!!!!!

Yesterday I took my daughter to a local childrens pond in Lakeville( I was to lazy to take out the boat and wait in line at the boat ramp). Anyways my 7 year old daughter was learning how to cast and twitch a bait back(muskie training).

She hooked into a big snapping turtle!!!!!! She had the turtle on for about 10 minutes. The turtle got unhooked buy useing her front paws. Crazy stuff!!!

[ocf]

ya it was the pole to

[SpecialK]

Field and Stream had a story about the Barbie pole salt water fishing. Let's just say the pole earned a place in the rod holders off the back of the charter boat. I'll put a link up if the powers that be will me and if I can find the story again.

Turtles don't have paws. I think they're hooves or something.
