Nice little story and You can be real proud of Your Granddaughter!
I have a similiar memory of my daughter's first Rainbow.
She refused to go home before she catched one and she didn't give up even when it was totally dark.
I said it was time to leave the lake and she replied:
"My rod is bent, I think I have one!"
She sure was right and I landed it for her, a 5 lb Rainbow.
She cleaned it herself, with the Fällkniven WM1 I had gifted to her.
What is it about Your Remington/Camillus, that makes it special?
I ask because I have a singelblade Camillus 710S in delrin jigged bone in my collection.
Maybe I should take that one on the next fishing trip and findout.
Regards
Mikael
