Earl he thinks the only way to cast a pole is to shoot it..I try to tell him it don't work that great with a cork or bass lures but he wont listen he's a natural at shooting docks. I kinda wanted him to play baseball this summer but he said not really because he wouldent be able to fish as much. He's just now developing a passion for it, I was afraid he wasn't going to be into fishing that much but now all I hear is" daddy can we go fishing?" I love hearing that!
