Took my 3 yr old grandson Lane out to a local farm pond awhile back and he caught his first fish. In fact he caught 3 decent bass. I had bought him a Zebco Dock Demon but he just couldn't get the hang of casting. So I would cast my bait caster and he reeled it in. 

 

 

Sorry bout that sideways pic. Not sure what happened there.

Good deal. Go get him a lunker. The pic didn't show on my end.

Didn't see the pic, unless you were fishing at midnight, but either way, tell him congrats.  I had the same with my then four year old nephew over the summer.  He is a dedicated angler now and tells me how he wants to go walleye fishing. No idea where he even came up with that since I've never caught (or would know how) a walleye in my life.  

Can't see picture, either, but congrats to your grandson!

Those times are so exciting for the elder and youngster.

Congradulations to Lane and you. I inherited 2 grandchildren through marriage, a boy at 10 and a girl at 7. Took a family outing and went fishing. Got both a special spin cast outfit, Spiderman and Barbie. I helped them bait and cast out. The grandson caught a bluegill immediately and both kids were excited. By the time I helped them get both baits and recasted out they put their outfits down and wanted to go play elsewhere. I have asked them to go fishing every week since then and they refuse. I was hoping to have that bond with them with the greatest hobby of all. They love WWE Raw.  LOL

Congrats to him! That is an early Xmas present!

Congratulations!

Congratulations on his first catch.
