To everyone’s surprise, Drayden pulled up his very first sheefish, and it wasn’t just any catch—it measured 46 inches long, the exact same height as him! Amazed and excited, Drayden could hardly believe that the fish he reeled in matched him in size, making it a memory he and his family will treasure for years to come. Stephen Nelson via Vi
