Slip, that is definately what it's all about. You are probably as proud of your son as your son is of the fish in that picture. :)

Actually Arby he is a friend of my son. I am proud of this kids enthusiasm. And is he obsessed with fishing already at age 10. His mom dropped him off at my house at 4 am . I cast out and set the hook for him as he was having a hard time casting out far enough. He usually chunks bait but I wanted to show him jigging. He reeled the smaller one in and we released it after the pic. I had to reel the bigger one in that we kept.it almost pulled him in and he couldn't even crank the reel.

Next year my son will do more fishing with me I hope.

Excellent. Nice job of encouraging him. Wait till his mom finds out she will have to work 2 jobs to finance evry rod for each type of fishing. HEHEHE:D

Slip,
That is excellent, I too look forward to the day when my boys can make the trip to the Great Canali with me.

great job slip!!! man...he can barely hold that bass up!! I'd say he's hooked for good :D

Slip thats a really great thing to do. I know some of us (myself included) get so wrapped up in the whole thing that we don't share what we have for fear that we may miss something ourselves.

BTW, Please tell me that wasn't this morning!!!!

Dave

:D lol
well Dave, ya know it could have been with the weather we've been having.
No , it was earlier this year, I think Sept. or so. He is a friend of my sons and he has no father around. His mom takes him fishing alot, he tries really hard and reads about it and doesn't get discouraged by not catching anything. The kid really gets it.

Awesome! BTW did you have to kick Ronnie Jones off his rock to catch that one? LOL

You're a great guy Slipknot. Nice fish too. Good Luck with the kids next season.

Thanks guys.

No canalratt, I was fishing to the right of Walters' rock. He was on it too, I was the only one hooking up since I was reaching the middle.

Wat to go Slip!!! I know I can't wait for Liam to live-line his first herring and see an explosion of scales :D :D :D :D

...Slip, that first picture is in JERSEY right!!??...;):D...ya should'a taken the reverse angle shot..:D

...when I bring some kids fishing, I usually don't get to fish at all...:)..they seem to keep me too busy...

..There is a great feeling of satisfaction watching a child reel a fish in...Good For You Slip....keep up the Great work!!!

that kids Mother deserves some credit too !! She dropped him off at Bruce's house at 4am and she takes him fishing when she can . Now thats my kinda Lady !

I just wanted you guys to know that Mike was getting emergency surgery for a ruptured appendix when I first posted this thread that day. Well he recovered fine and his mom showed him the thread when he came home the next week, and he said to her"now I'm famous". :)

Well, actually he was over my house the day of the plug party and if I had known, I would have brought him out to introduce him to all the other striper nuts that were there. He's a good kid and I will make a lure for him so my son can give it to him for Christmas.

Hey Mike - If you read this, we're all happy you are doing better, and Yep, your famous here!!! :D :D - Nice Fish Bud!!!

Cool :)
