Starting them young

[Oregon slabman]

Today I took out a friend and his 6 year old grandson that he is raising. I would get the little guys bait down to the right depth and he took over from there. When he would hook one I had to get there quick with the net because he would reel them right out of the water. He caught some nice crappie and a heck of a perch. We've had a couple of cooler days finally and the fish really responded to it.
