Hooked on fishing
Olivia Martin, age 12, fishes daily for bass off her family's dock on Lake Owasso in Roseville. She caught this 19-inch largemouth recently on a wacky worm.
Who needs help? Not her
Clara Jane Zavoral, age 8, from Edina, caught this 19½-inch, 4-pound smallmouth bass on the St. Croix River on July 6 using a jib and a night crawler with a Zebco dock rod. Clara reeled it in by herself and after pictures, released it.
