my little boy has finally grew up in the fishing dept. he can sit through and actually fish a 8-10 hour day. he also used a baitcaster for the first time today (birdnested only once) and he caught a bass on it none the less! last year if he didnt catch a fish in like the first 20 mins it was all over with. he would whine and complain about everything and god forbid he lost a fish lol. he actually sat through a cold miserable day yesterday with me with not one single complaint and we got skunked! then today was cold and windy and nothing, not one little whining session! to me this is a major event! now i can actually teach him and he will listen. of course i have always liked taking him fishing BUT NOW I ENJOY IT! i have been waiting for this day to come for a long time. i actually have a little fishing buddy now! couldnt be prouder of the little rug rat!

Congratulations!  How old is hour little fishing machine?

That's awesome. Mine is the same way, which with him it doesn't matter if he is catching fish. He will start to complain about 20 min in to the fishing.

he will be 9 in august. he has been fishing since he was 3 though. mainly with grandpa up until last year. grandpa has more patience than me so it worked better in the past lol.

that's great man... life is good

Good kid.   

VERY COOL GALE - I have my first child on the way - we will find out the sex in exactly 1 week - I hope that he/she will enjoy days out on the lake with "dad" one day too in this same manner - very special - and not an absolute as I understand - enjoy yourself!!

Too cool!

;D ;D ;D

Thats awesome man, I cant wait till my kid can fish with me.  I have a while before that can happen because its about the size of a kidney bean right now lol.

I have a 10yr old.  Just remember that no matter how badly you want to stay and fish when he says hes done, its time to go or at least let him idle the boat around for awhile. 

The last thing you want him to remember about fishing with dad in the boat is that he was stuck out there for hours having no fun....
