HanoverStriper Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 I took my 3 year old son out fishing for the fist time yesterday. Just grabbed some night crawlers and headed to a local pond. His attention span is pretty short these days, so I really didn't know what to expect. After practicing some casting in our back yard, he surprised me when he started throwing some bombs with his bobber. I saw a few sunfish swimming around, and assumed we would end up hooking up with a few. After a few hits and misses, the bobber took a quick dive. After my son gave the rod a little tug, and started reeling, he came up with his first fish. It was a very proud moment for both of us. 1-1.5 lbs LMB.

NewEnglandAngler Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 That is way too cool! I took my 3 year old out earlier this year (I think he's got the same pole, too) and he caught 7 sunfish on crawlers. I was hoping he'd haul a LMB, but it wasn't to be. The LMBs certainly loved my senkos, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Riddler Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Love the crash shot. Puts things in perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoverStriper Posted July 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Thanks guys. It was a blast watching him battle the bass with his Lightning McQueen setup. I was worried he would lose the fish and be upset, but he kept the line tight and won the battle. Too much fun! F TOMBO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
