Happiness is Valerie Attia, chaulking up a day of firsts along with her husband Garem. Being raised in St. Petersburg, Russia, Val didn’t have the opportunity to hone her smallmouth bass-fishing skills. That happened last Saturday, when the physician’s assistant got close and personal with about 50 of them! Notice in the first photo, the soaking wet shirt––the 19-inch bass she is holding did everything but pull her over the side before succumbing to the net. Garem, an experienced fisherman, was experimenting in the bow with flies, topwater lures, and subsurface attractors of different designs. He found action on nearly everything he tried. Do women out-fish men? Ask any guide. The answer will be, only ninety-nine times out of a hundred.

My 19 year old daughter will out-fish my husband three to one almost every time. She caught 16 bass in two hours Sunday evening. He caught five.
