My Sons First

[fishbones]

My son told me he wanted to catch a bluefish while we were on vacation down the Cape this week. We saw a ton of birds picking off bait while at the beach today, so I decided to take him after dinner. I was casting the plug into a pretty stiff breeze and letting my son reel it in. He was doing great, but there didn't seem to be any fish around. After a few minutes, I was watching him work the plug and all of a sudden I saw a fish hit it. As he got it to shore, I realized that it wasn't a small blue, but a tiny bass. He was thrilled, and I was probably even more excited than him to see him catch his first striper.
