Fishing with my boy for the first time!

Scottw · 05-23-2010, 09:22 PM

As a lot of you guys know, I enjoy the fact that we live on a lake. Today I had a lot of s**t to do but in the afternoon, my friend Chris, my son and I walked to the edge of our property and threw some lines in the water. My boy is 2 and 1/2 and is simply put, my entire world, my entire life and I would give my life in a heartbeat for him, I love him so much. Well, he wanted to fish with us so I figured it was time to show him the ropes and wouldn't you know, the young man got himself a fish! Not the biggest or the baddest, but I cried like a fat man during closing time at the buffet when he landed his first "sunny". Of course he said "Dad, look; a Tuna!".

That is awesome, Scott, and the look on your little guy's face is priceless.

MedicCook · 05-23-2010, 09:36 PM

That's great Scott. Pretty soon he will be out fishing you.

Wouldn't take much for today's showing. I was like a mute at a spelling competition today. Chris did well though and I enjoyed a Cusano 18 Paired Maduro.

Very cute story, one to remember for sure. However, I think that's a Blue Gill, not a Sunfish!

alwayslit · 05-24-2010, 12:41 PM

Cool!!......that's a beautiful thing having father/son time on the lake.

Great story and pics. I'm sure he'll enjoy fishing with dad for years to come.

Might be, I don't lnow much of a difference

kenstogie · 05-24-2010, 01:17 PM

Took my Daughte fishing yesterday for the second time althought we didn't catch anything we had a great time. That's some good stuff. I though bluegills and sunny's were the same?

Thats awesome brother, congrats to you and the lil one

DPD6030 · 05-25-2010, 08:49 PM

That is great Scott. I can't wait until my son grabs a pole and wets a line.

RevSmoke · 05-25-2010, 08:54 PM

You are building memories. I remember my first fish, caught with my father when I was about that age. There have been many fish in between, and I mean many... But I do remember that time with dad.

Peace of the Lord be with you.
