Man that brings back memories of my son's first fish, and hopefully
future memories of my grandson's (my son's, son) first this summer.

I hope you have the thousand of future catches with him, like I had with
my son over the years, My son and I went Sunday, every time he lands one
even today, I think of his first, because it was so funny.

Have to share his first
He was 2 1/2, my father-in-law had a shiner pound he raised his bait in.
We walked down to his little pond with a tiny cane we had cut for Pat,
we had rigged it with a number 12 hook and a split, we caught a cricket
in the grass and baited him up. He was whipping the water with his
cricket like 2 year olds do, when a HUGE shiner took the cricket, we
where yelling for him to raise up the pole, when he did, it took both
hands and a struggle, then the fish came up and he swung it into his
face. At which point he threw down the pole and went running back up to
the house yelling for his mom. We were laughing so hard we couldn't even
go after him,, when we finally got to the house, he had calmed down
and was telling and showing his grandma how big his bass was, all fish
were bass to him. I wish we had thought to take a camera.

By the time he was 5 he was always eager to show other kids, and even
adults how to catch fish, now my son's daughter was the same at 5, now
at nine she always puts on a show for everyone when she lands a fish,
she really hams it up, like the guys on TV fishing shows, which she
loves to watch.

Good stuff Bass_Mr.,

Fine looking fisherman!

Attached are a couple pixs of my son. His first fish around age 3 and at 13
with a Westslope Cut when we were working on his Fly Fishing merit badge,
now at 16 he nearly looks me in the eye at 6'2". They grow up way to fast,
enjoy every minute. I cherish my time streamside with the kid, I know he
will be off to college in a couple years and he probably won't have near the
time to spend with ol' Dad...

Thanks,
JT

I wish i would have spent more time with my oldest, he was never one for
fishing much and now he's all grown and heading to Baghdad, Iraq. It goes by
quick, take all the chances you can while you can.
