Fishing With Kids

[darrencombs]

My son and I fished Mike Webb's K.A.S.T. for kids tournament this weekend. What a great time we had. This is great time of year to take a kid fishing. The Take-Kid-Fishing tournament out of Cape Fair should really be good for the kidos. My son threw a grub most of the day and caught plenty of fish. With the cloud cover and wind I had to try it.....I threw a Pro blue mega bass and it landed me a 5.88. Just prior to cathcing this fish I hooked a really fat keeper kentucky. I knew I didn't have it hooked very well. When you hear stories of knocking a fish off with a net....well it happened. I could tell he was upset, but that is part of fishing. We stopped and talk about netting fish for a bit. Off course he was on me saying I should have hooked it better. At 13 years of age they know it all. lol It wasn't 15 minutes later and I hooked this girl. There's no other person I would want in my boat to net this fish. He got her netted like a pro. This is only a three fish tournament and we had little over 10 pounds with three. We fished from Joe Bald to Baxter main lake and secondary points.

Cool deal. Once in a while you get one of those all important second chances.

Not much better than spending time in the outdoors fishing with your kids. Just being in that different environment allows for another level of communication. Sounds like a memorable day for the two of you. Thanks for the report.
