And there are days it doesn't pay

Took my daughter fishing a couple of times before she got too old to go off with dad. I decided to take her to the James River and mess around with catfish. I had been several times and worms, minnows or stink bait always produced a few 1-5lb cats. Knew she would have a ball with bigger fish. Not one bite of any kind. There are those days, but why that one?
