If he wasn't my boy I might be sore!

Before I could get out of the car and get rigged he had already rigged up, got to the bank, and created the biggest bird nest I'd seen in a long while on his brand new rod and reel. I asked him"Did you balance your bait?" NOPE! He just got too excited, So what do i do now? Hand a Revo SX to a 9 yr old? yeah right! :. What is the other choice, let him be the first to use your brand new setup you've been dying to fish since you got it for x-mas, yep! so not only is he the first to land a fish with my shiny Curado :owith the sexy MOJO rod :PBUT, Then he out fished me with it. :'( what a geat day it was! :-/

First off, nice pic's..  Don't feel to bad, the first time I took my Son bass fishing when he was 9, he's now 34..I told him to cast his spinner bait right next to a stump..bait doesn't even hit the water and a 5 lb'r tags it..he had big fish of the day.. ;D

Always good to see the young un's fishin.

Cravin, I notice he has a look of satisfaction on his face in the first pic.  ;D  How much head shaking did ya do?  A day to remember  

This is the second time he landed the bigger one so I guess I'm getting use to it. I'm just glad he'll fish as long as I will without getting bored or frustrated. We are going to hit a new place today , maybe I can fish my new rod this time.

Yes that is a smile of satisfaction that he out fished his old man!

You did the right thing!  Healthy looking fish.

Nice!  I can't wait to take my 5 year old boy fishing.  

Awesome!

let him be the first to use your brand new setup you've been dying to fish since you got it for x-mas, yep!

Yep!

Great story man. Memories he will cherish when he's older. I know I cherish time spent with my Dad. Cool that he enjoys something that you do too.

great story and nice fish, nothing like having outdoors fun with your kids.

Great post, nice pics!
