Came across this story today online...probably in the paper as well...I'm going to make sure I get my 14 yr old daughter to read this in the hope she gets the fishing bug back...I miss my fishing buddy...since she started high school and grew up the fishing took a back seat... :(

Good Story

Good Story

Kim is one of my 10 year old daughters main role-models (whos name is also Kim) and she follows Kims progress on the us circuit near obsessively, She is also a fantastic ambassador for both Australia and for fishing in general and has done fantastic things for promoting fishing to the ladies and young ladies.

An aussie legend in the making.

Go Girl!!! Good on ya, Kimmie!!!

Ooooh Dave - if anyone could put it on DVD, I'd love to see it!! Please? Pretty Please???

I think that Carl Jocumsen has headed over there to crack the US trophy market now, too!

The Aussie Mafia will strike again! We've taken over their acting spots, now we want their fishing spots! :)

Hope the claws stay in tho! :( Looks like some real bad sports over there!!

What lures do her & her husband make? Anyone know the name of them?

Cheerio

Go Kim!

I've been reading Kim Bain's articles for years and following her fishing on the US tournament circuit for a while... some very knowledgeable people have told me she's one of the best fisho's anywhere... she's shaking up the establishment big time.

Hope she does well... it can only be great for us getting more coverage on telly of fishing.

Cheers, Slinky

A very talented and humble young lady. Her enthusiasm is contagious :biggrin2: Regardless of the outcome of the tournament, she is already a winner. Best of luck to Kim ... and have fun!

Just heard them say that only 25 go thru to fish the Sunday! (about half the field)

So far, Kim is in the lower half of the field, but not on the bottom!

I think it is a 3 day tournament, so hopefully she will get a good bag tomorrow to keep her in the hunt!

Kim got a 8lb 12oz bag today for 5 fish taking her overall tally to 7 fish for 12lb 2oz. Pretty good, I reckon, given the amount of pressure on her to perform!

She came 47th out of 51 but at least didn't get any doughnuts (as did a few of the guys, on both days!)

Looks like the top 25 go thru to the final tomorrow.

Can confirm that Roberta. have been watching all afternoon. Some of those rigs are crazy, must be topping 50-75 knots.

I will re-iterate what the commentators have been saying. This is probably the only sport where gender has no bearing on the outcome. "The fish don't know that it is a female on the other end of the rod".

6lbs against 30+ lbs just doesn't wash with me.

Credit to her that she topped the all female list in the womens competition, but these guys are like lions.

Some of these guys are just damned crazy. Kelly, I think his name is, has just completed a triple heart bypass operation and I am pretty certain that he made the final cut of 25 anglers for the final day.

Have not seen one angler from the 51 competing tolling a lure. Some are catching Bass in 12 inches of water.

Something to do with the love bug. That the shallower water warms up much quicker obviously, than the deeper water.
