LittleRedFisherman Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 Got a call today from my good friend Jody, an invite to go with them to our favorite stretch on the EP here in AR. I dreadfully declined because of things I needed to get done around the farm. Turns out they had a great afternoon of fishing, his son Ethan in this pic was elated over this Dandy of a Smallie they caught and released. I suck really bad for not going today.... My friends are kinda new to bass fishing, but they are finding there nitch quick, and Ethan absolutely loves it. Love seeing kids that are introduced to the outdoors, and taught the right ways. There's no such thing, as a bad day fishing!

Gavin Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 Good on You!....Think I need to have a bluegill slaughter...My 6 year old is wondering when we are gonna eat a fish.
LittleRedFisherman Posted September 29, 2013 Author Posted September 29, 2013 Good on You!....Think I need to have a bluegill slaughter...My 6 year old is wondering when we are gonna eat a fish. Yeah, I've tried that with my 4 year old, but he likes to cast and reel I like Daddy, so I just tie him a beetle spin on his little zebco. My boy already expects to release the fish, we do put a bluegill in the livewell sometimes so he can show it off...lol. I haven't taken him smallie fishing yet, he's getting close to trying it, so far keeping him on the "safer" water. I forgot to note, that Ethan (in this pic) is a 3rd grader, he's already killed 3 deer, over the past few years. Outdoors instead of video games, I love it!! There's no such thing, as a bad day fishing!

Greasy B Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 Great way to get a young man started. To this day I remember the first time I fished, must have been no more than 4. I don't know who set me with an bobber and a worm but I am forever grateful. His father touches the Claw in spite of Kevin's warnings and breaks two legs just as a thunderstorm tears the house apart. Kevin runs away with the Claw. He becomes captain of the Greasy Bastard, a small ship carrying rubber goods between England and Burma. Michael Palin, Terry Jones, 1974

I love teaching young children to hunt/fish. The video gaming has become a cancer with young people. My son is a toddler and says "DOE" everytime we see deer in our pasture. He knows 6 words and thats one of them! He also knows a little sign language from daycare. He points to his open palm when he wants more. eveytime he says "DOE" he points to his hand for more! LOL
