Here's a lesson I learned. I have caught enough fish that now, i want to catch them on my terms, be it in the surf, flyrod or light tackle. So, when we got into the fish, I ran back to the truck and grabbed a light spinning outfit with a small jumping minnow. I gave it to Anthony(instead of the 8.5 salmon rod) and told him that it would be a blast to catch one on this. It was much harder to cast the light bait into the wind and he quickly went back to the other rod. He hasn't caught enough yet to want to "Go light", he just wants to catch as efficiently as he can. Duhh Dad.....

I decided that I would try to teach Anth how to cast a baitcaster this trip. Brought along a small calcutta on a 7' and tied on a small roberts ranger. As I was demonstrating he says "dad, I think I know how to cast those". I said there is a difference between knowing how to do something and being able to do something. I gave him the rod and said "Go EASY at first".
It may not have been the worst backlash I have ever seen, but it was a likely top 5.

Your backlashes while "learning" at the dawn of time probably rank right up their, too!  I still can't do it, that is why I boat fish  |
 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.
