Fishing with my son

[mjhutch1116]

Went out with my son and jake for a short outing last night.  We went to a local lake, trying to get the boy into some fish we had a pretty good outing catching somewhere between 12 and 15 bass.  Nothing real big but it was fun to watch him reel them in.  At one point he stopped doing the reeling because he wanted to operate the net instead.  Did not matter to him how big the fish was if we hooked one it had to be netted.  Jake also managed to catch a muskie that was in the 25 to 30 inch range.  All in all a very successful outing the boy told me on the way home that he had a really good time and wanted to go again some time.  Thanks Jake for going along with us on the outing.  I'm sure you could have found something more productive to do with your evening. (like your wife's honey do list)  The only bad thing to happen was the muskie and some of the bass were caught on the "new" banjo minnow 006.  I was foolish enough to buy some of the original banjo minnows and never caught a thing on them.  Now jake thinks I need to buy some of the new ones they are the best thing since sliced bread.

Very nice, I bet that made for a great outing and I look forward to when I can do the same with my son. Good deal on the muskie maybe you could teach basser89 and I a thing or two about those darn lake muskies.

That's awesome dad!!  Keep up the good work!

Anything to get the kids involved is great!!!

With kids, it doesn't matter what your throwing, as long as your catchin' em.
