A 4-year-old girl was fishing with her father at a pond at his school when she hooked a fish on her own and began reeling it in. Dallon Ray immediately started filming and captured the precious moment when little Annie discovered the fish wasn’t quite as big as she thought.
“This is a big one, this is a big one,” Annie exclaimed in the video. But her tune quickly changed after pulling the bluegill onto the bank.
“This is really tiny! Tiny!” she said, using hand gestures for emphasis. “This is so tiny!”

Ray told USA Today/For The Win Outdoors that Annie had caught fish before with assistance, her biggest being a 15-inch catfish.
“She has been fishing many times before, but this trip was one of the first she could cast and reel all on her own,” Ray explained to For The Win Outdoors. “When she said it was a big one, I knew it was probably just a bluegill because that is what we had been catching previously.
“I was surprised she called it tiny because it wasn’t super small, but we had recently caught one that was 12 inches long so I guess compared to that it was smaller.”
Either way, it was a catch of a lifetime…video-wise.
