She's only four, but a pint-sized angler is well on her way to becoming a pro.

Pheobe Swann is the daughter of KHOU-TV News photographer Kirk Swann. And she reeled in the big one during a family trip to Rockport.

Catching a big fish was not the real story. It’s the fact that Pheobe was using her Barbie fishing rod, with a red plastic worm as bait.

At the end was of the line was a 40-inch, 50-pound Black Drum.

She screamed at such a big catch, so dad came to the rescue. Kirk took the line, reeled for half an hour and finally got the monster out of the water.

After celebrating the big catch, the Swanns threw the fish back in the water.
