Tell me about it, I get kind of frustrated when he's catching every bass on a dinky reel and pole combo on small crappie jigs, and I can't even get a bite with my quasy fancy gear. Then I start thinking, try a smaller bait and slow it down, which actually worked got a nice hook up, but spit the hook when I got him close to the bank. I still get happy for him when he hooks up because he gets so excited, and has this huge smile on his face. That's what it's all about.
