Twelve-year-old Brantley Brunelle successfully caught his first salmon, weighing 24.10 pounds, on his very first attempt. This impressive catch exemplifies the memorable experiences that Lakeridge Lodging and Bait Shop offers. For those aspiring to catch a notable fish, they can contact the shop for their own fishing adventure.

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!

Taking kids ice fishing fosters excitement and connection to nature, emphasizing the joy of their first catch over limits or gear. Such moments create lasting memories and build confidence.
