Freddie's First

[Redman]

My nephew Freddie has been staying with us over his Christmas Holiday break from school. Last summer he staid with us thur part of the summer and we did a lot of catfishing. This last week he has been bugging me about going fishing for catfish but I have been trying to get him to fish for Crappie. He is a good kid but always wants to catch a lot of fish. Today when we went out I introduced him into longlinging. I told him that we didn't get a lot of fish but there would be big fish by longlineing the river channel. We tried several spots and he was starting to get a little board with longlineing and then Bang and I fear it changed his life and how he feels about Crappie fishing. The picture tell the tale pretty well. 14and1/2 inches and over a pound. Think that he is hooked on crappie fishing now and I might add it was on a jig that I tied. Enjoy
