news ![]() I bet that he won't forget any time soon, neither! I agree. Congrats to the youngster, and also to his dad for *taking a kid fishing* in the first place. That's a nice hawg in the photo BTW, I bet both dad and son were quite excited. I almost hate to say it, since it sounds like a pun, but I bet the kid is hooked on fishing for life now, and that's not a bad thing IMO. |

Awesome fish! Awesome pics! Thanks for the story Randy,I love to see kids
catch fish. "alwaysfishking" wrote in message ... Yesterday was the little guys birthday, he turned 4. I brought him to the store to pick out a gift, as we cruised row after row of toys, he could not decide what to get. He eventually wound up picking out a spinning rod /reel combo with all the grubs, bobbers and worms a spinning rod combo kit could hold. How could I argue? I promised him that right after work today we would go fishing. I set up his combo and tied a speed worm on for him. He didn't have too much trouble other than the occasional tangle with the grass. I fished a horny toad over the grass that I took Chris to last week. 4 or 5 blow ups and two pickerel to the boat. I also lost a nice bass on the jump. We were heading back in and that "You know you should take a few more casts" thing kicked in. So I flipped a wacko in some pads, felt a thump and set the hook. Nice big fish, this fish made me smile cause it was one of those fish that make the day worth while( at least for me). About ten minutes later I cast my son's wacko at the side of a tree laying down near the shore. I hand him the rod and start tying on another hook to my line. My son's shriek of "I got a fish" "I got a fish" had me look up. The rod was slapping against the boat and it was bent to it's limit. I jumped across the seat and grabbed the rod to lift it. Big fish, rod jerks, real big fish. Fish launchs into the air. "Holy Sh%T" fish. My son kept cranking as much as his little hands could, the fish went to the air again and came down with a mighty splash. He reeled it to the edge of the boat where I lipped it. It was gut hooked but the point was sticking out and I was able to cut the line and remove the hook by the point with no problem. He was also able to hold both fish for pictures( so did I as his was much nicer :-)) This is a lake I have not fished much since moving here over 5 years ago. I will most likely visit this lake some more, after all it's three minutes from my house. Pictures at a.b.p.f. Randy- |
