Two-year-old lands big fish with pink Barbie pole

Two-year-old Ella Haag, using her favorite pink Barbie fishing pole, caught a 20-pound, 30-inch muskie while fishing with her family at Minnesota’s Round Lake. First, Ella caught a tiny sunfish with a hook and worm. “Ella had her sunfish on and she’s reeling it in,” her mother, Carrie Haag, related. “Here comes this big muskie that went and ate her sunfish. So I grabbed the pole and yelled for Grandpa David,” who nabbed the fish with a net. Amazingly, the Barbie pole was up to the task. “I caught a shark,” explained Ella, who is smaller than the fish.
