Ohio 7-year-old reels in ancient fish in first ever catch

PERRY TWP., Ohio – Tip Pullin considers his jaunts to Sippo Lake an opportunity; not just to relax at his favorite pastime–fishing–but also as the perfect chance to teach younger generations that angling for native Ohio fish is every bit more fun than a video game.

But it was a closed-reel Saturday that Hajile cast after just a click of the button that her newly found skill produced something special on her hook. One that only a 7-year-old’s luck could.

“I told her to watch it, the bobber went down. She reeled it in. She had a monster,” said Pullin.
