it all started this morning when my 6 year old got up rubbing his eyes and said" I want to go fishing. So I did what any dad would do, I hooked the boat up and we went fishing. I just slid the 14 foot v hull in the water and he asked me if he could use my rod. He uses a zebco style reel and uses it well I might add, but I didnt think he was ready for the spin cast reel yet. So I told him if he could use it he could have it, and I started laughing. After a 5 minute crash course on casting we began to fish. After he caught 19 bass on it today,I just sit there amazed how well he used the rod. Dont get me wrong he is , not that Im bragging, the best fisherman his age that ive ever seen. He can out fish his older brother of 14 any day of the week. This is a true story but when he was about 4 he would cry at night and say that he wanted to have his fishing pole in his room because he couldnt sleep at night without seeing it.Every time I take him fishing somtime during the day he always stops fishing and give me a hug and kiss and tells me that he loves me . Years ago before I had kids I never had a clue what a good day on the water really was until now. But to make a long story short my little buddy has graduated to the next level and is now the owner of an allstar rod. The one good thing is I never have a hard time trying to find someone to fish with I always have my little buddy.
