Hooked For Life: 2-Year-Old Lands First Fish!

At just two years old, Lettie Mae Dempster celebrated her first catch, a Largemouth Bass, on the banks of the Yellowstone River near Billings. Despite her reluctance to touch the fish, her excitement remained high as she looked forward to casting another line alongside her aunt and uncle. Congratulations, Lettie!

On the banks of the Yellowstone River, just outside of Billings, a young angler, Lettie Mae Dempster, celebrated her first catch at age two. With equal parts excitement and hesitation, though unwilling to touch the Largemouth Bass she proudly reeled in, her enthusiasm never faded, and moments later, she was eager to cast another Twister Tail alongside her auntie Shelby Johnson and uncle Ty.

Congratulations, Lettie!!
