Had a good day on Sunday. We (the wife, kids and I) went to my aunt and uncles house over by Raintree Lake in Lee's Summit for a cook-out. They had invited several other people from church, so I was all too happy to slip out the back door and hit the pond behind their house. It wasn't long before I had some "followers" lol. 

 

My kids were the only ones there that had actually gone fishing and have caught fish before. The other kids said they had gone, but never caught anything. Needless to say they were anxious to give it a go, and I was all to happy to try and help. We decided the best bet was to have them line up beside me, I would hook the fish and they would reel it in, hold it for a photo, and release it themselves. It took some convincing to get some of them to actually hold the fish, but they all had a blast and I have to say, it was an amazing experience for me as well!

 

 

 

 

Now, that's quite a crew!

A true steward of fishing, passing the fun down to the youngsters, well done!! 

i love to hook one and have a kid reel it in, nothing quite like it!!

Nice work!

Sounds like a great day. A thumbs up for you, for sharing the fun with the kids.

Now, that's quite a crew!
