A 3-year-old  girl from Billings has entered the State of Montana Fishing Records Book.

Bette Schmieding landed a nine-inch, 0.84-pound green sunfish from Hickson’s Pond near Acton while fishing with her grandfather, James Bender of Billings.

The big green sunfish was caught on a worm and young Bette battled her catch and landed it on the bank on the privately owned pond.

The private-pond record fish was allowed because the landowner allows public fishing with permission.

The record displaces a 1991 record by Roger Fliger of Billings at Castle Rock Lake at Colstrip, his sunfish was .56-pound, 8.6-inch green sunfish.

 Well there you have it, now a 3 year old girl has caught a State Record Fish. That’s awesome and I bet she is hooked on fishing for life. Teaching kids to fish is a great thing.
Take a kid fishing, the memories will be great for both of you.

Please fish responsibly!

Enjoy the summer and get out there and Go Fishin’  

Tight Lines and Sinkin’ Bobbers,  Gary
