4-Year-Old Snags Whopper With Barbie Fishing Pole
Saturday, January 5th, 2008
Four-year-old Phoebe Swann reeled in a 40-inch, 50-pound fish, but what’s even better is she used her tiny pink Barbie fishing rod and a red plastic worm to snag it.
With a little help from her dad, after half an hour of reeling, she finally got the giant fish out of the water.
After briefly basking in the limelight, Phoebe threw the fish back in the water.

Cute final picture…fish is a Black Drum.
This is so cute! I wonder if Ken’s ‘pole’ is that strong…hahaha!
Don’t mess with the Barbie fishin’ pole, it snagged her a big fish and its going to snag her an even bigger man one day!
I pay far more $ on fishing equipment than a $20 Barbie rod and don’t catch anything near that size. Oh well! Good story. Thanks for posting it.
I *DIG* that story!
Especially the way she snagged that giant plastic fish (by mattel).
“Jerk moron kid. Does she think she feels ‘real womanly’ standing next to that fish like a little prick? She obviously doesn’t understand/care their unregulated ongoing global mass exploitation of these animals!!! What kind of dumb message does this send out in 2008?”
The horror…the horror…
Thad is my hero
Comparing Bull Sharks and Black Drum is like comparing Wolves to Chihuahuas or pickles to dog poo.
…or Mayonnaise and light bulbs.
That’s one proud kid, and rightly so. Cute story.
What kind of d-bag (Thad) posts anything that references a 4 yo kid as a “womanly…prick”? I kind of wish he would suck a big one and then die a horrible death. What a bag of crazy.
I’m with “Thad sucks”. I was absolutely shocked to read his comment. I’ve got a question for Thad, Jerk moron…Are you jealous?
Ya know I was once great friends with a psychiatrist
when we ware back in college together and he told me–Dave you can think your most terrible thought and there are probably a million people that thinks that is normal. Thad getpsychiactric care or next stop prison for life
