Introducing kids to fishing is fine, but if they are meant to be fishermen they will be out there on their own trying it already no matter how bad they are at it. If it is in their blood they have no choice. I'm pretty sure it was like that for many of us.

I've got a kid like that across the street. Met him down the beach the other night coming on when I was walking off (@930pm). He was in street clothes using a boat sized spinning rod with a single plug, a small donny I had given him. Saw his father the next day. Said he had come home soaking wet. Turns out an hour and a mile of rock after I met him he hooked a 34" bass that took him around an outside rock. Alone on a dark night in early May he went in after the fish and swam around the rock to get the fish and the lure back. He can't help himself, he was born to fish.

Nice job Bruce, sounds like you had some good fish, and kept him busy

Thanks guys,
he is always fishing the ponds out behind his house much like I did when I was a kid. He even got into turkey hunting recently. He has come over to learn plug building and i showed him how to tie tailhooks, he went home and made a tying vise and bobkin, then tied some fresh water stuff. He makes spinners too. I gave him a bunch of hair and stuff.

George, that sounds like quite a dedicated kid but also dangerous, I hope he knows how dangerous that was. Glad he made it back with his stuff and to shore safely
