Granddaughter's Fishing field trip

I volunteered for my 11 year old granddaughter's fishing trip with her Fifth grade class Tuesday. It was a blast, most fun I've ever had without catching a fish. Charlotte had a great time catching bluegill and highlight was her first catfish, a nice one about 5 lbs. I was busy non stop for 3.5 hours from 9:30 -1 pm unhooking fish and untangling lines for her classmates. I gave away some jigs to some of the kids who wanted to try jigs instead of hot dogs and worms and some caught their very first fish using my jigs. Lot's of very happy kids at the end of the day. I brought something home with me as well. Chiggers !! Treating those with Tea Tree oil I purchased here on this site, it works!

Awesome job helping the kids and your granddaughter. Good memories

Awesomeness. Fishing certainly makes them smile

Great job Jim.

Spending time fishing with granddaughters is special .
Fun time for all .

Are you sure they were chiggers? 5th graders have lots of bugs! (I used to teach 5th grade):biggrin Good on you for sharing your time and expertise. Your granddaughter and her friends will always remember that day!

Great memories for sure !
the smiles tell it all!
Thanks for sharing!

You’re a more patient man than I Jim, extra good job!! As already said, the smile tells the story. They may fish for life but they’ll remember that day. Glad it all went smooth.

Those kids will not forget this day especially your granddaughter! Thanks for being there for all these kids because a lot of kids today rarely get quality time with adults that care. Job well done!

Well said Dexter.
