Attachment 209464Attachment 209465Attachment 209466Wife told me about this young man not having a father and never been fishing. Plans were made and off we went.
The look of a a little boys first fishing trip. Priceless! From the curiosity of seeing a hair jig, his very first fish too ''Mr. Tom can I drive the boat''. Was blessed to spend time with him.

Dang, sorry about the px..../ pix turned:ThumbsUp
Awesome story. Priceless for sure.
very nice of you , pictures are just fine ,look at that smile
Not having a son, I foresee Mr. Tom as I'm now called spending a lot more time with this little feller.
One gill I was taking off the hook shot a stream of water....he started laughing and said he didn't know fish peed. Everything was new and interesting to him. My ''TV'' as he called it was broke...In his eye fish on a SI unit should look like fish and he didn't see them as we do. He did however see a alligator that I could not see and the reason he had to keep reeling the bobber in was to keep it from eating his cricket. great day on the water
Big respect to you for all you are doing for this young man! Not enough like you out there! Even if it is just a fishing trip.

Very cool of you!! A day that you and the young boy will never forget.
Epic adventure! Nice work and I am quite sure it could very well be life altering for that young feller.
Always good to start them young.
That pic of him and the fish should be submitted for calendar material.
Good job.....thanks for sharing with us
You did good slabbacks...
Good on you!!! :ThumbsUp
You oughtta help him register on here and get him a nice sticker to put on his moms chariot.
That is fantastic! Good for your wife also. Without her caring this young man would not have had this opportunity. Good on both of you.
Looks like a good time was had by all.
Seeing stuff like this reminds me of the story by Pat McManus, The Theory and Application of Old Men, (you can google it and find it) it is a good short read. Looking back I had plenty of mentors in the outdoors and all young boys should experience it with some sort of mentor. I am currently in the process of taking my 2 future step sons out on adventures, it is a blast and they are really enjoying time away from their video games. The oldest has become obsessed with reading my F&S Outdoorsman Manuals, his newest trick is starting fires without matches.
