First Solo Catch

If you guessed that my grandson was a little proud of himself in this picture you would be correct. While the little lad has been out with me several times-this was his first unassisted crappie catch. My son and I took him out this past Friday afternoon and our first stop was on a brush pile in 8 ft. of water. I stripped out about 6 ft. of line on a 10 ft. jig pole and handed it to the little one. I turned around to get another rod and the fight was on or as much fight that a 11 inch fish can give a 5 year old. Later on that afternoon we managed to catch several decent fish. My son and I returned to the scene of the crime and caught a decent mess Saturday morning. Instead of the traditional Easter ham we enjoyed a fish fry with all the trimmings. Closed out the weekend with a meaningful Easter worship experience with the entire family - doesn't get much better than this.

Thats good stuff right there Richard!!

I figure all 3 in the boat were about equally excited. Way to go number 1 grandson.

"Number 1" is kinda a family joke. My dad always introduced me as his number 1 son. Of course I was also his only son.

Awesome fish! Love seeing the young ones grinning ear to ear!

Thats great!

Way to go. Good to see several generations fishing together. I wish that were more common these days. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome job grandpa! 3 generations fishing together and going to church together, it definitely doesn't get any better than that!

Awesome.

Making memories.Great post,pic's.

Great pics. That's what it's all about.

Richard I'm sure this young lad will have a leg up on crappie fishing, probably winning youth tournys in a few years. He's got a great teacher. There is nothing like taking those grand children crappie fishing.

Awesome JOB!!!!!! Aint nothing like introducing kids into the outdoors and passing on tradition! You da man!
