While my son takes a nice little nap in the cabin, I'm chumming, chunking, fixing lines cleaning the deck, you name it.......

Gets up from his nap, I have my back turned doing something and ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ goes the reel. He grabs it and pulls up this nice fat fish.

I'm gonna have to start fishing alone....:smash:

Doesn't get much better then that Van.:D

schweet, man.

Nice!!! Van.
I kinda hope I'll be outfished by my kids...it makes for more of a fun trip. :)

Copy that. Some folks who know me, know that I am really into getting kids fishing. (like MSBA kids)..

I like to see him catch and keep him interested, but I gotta RIB him too......;) ;) ;) I wouldnt be right not to....:D

Brit gets all the fish on my boat. Once in a while I "hog" one, but I usually hand over the rod for her to battle...except the flyrod which she would have trouble with.

She can handle fish up to that 32", 10-12lb range... bigger than that, she often says, "alright that's enough, you finish 'em off dad"

Not sure how I'll handle things when the twins are old enough... I better be catchin' a heck of alot of fish by then to have enough to go around.

Nice going Van... my dad took me fishin' alot as a kid. Now I take him. You guys will always have that bond.

It's funny... if you hook a fish and let the kid reel it in, it's no big deal, even if it's a big striper... but if you're sitting on the dock and the kid hooks and lands a baby catfish all by himself, he is ecstatic! :happy:
