My first fish was a bluegill and I think I was about 5. My father and I were anchored about 15’ from a little island in a private pond using a cane pole and worms or crickets. I hooked one and was pulling, trying to get it to the boat and my father said, “pull harder”. Well, I gave a yank and that sucker flew from the open water on one side of the boat almost to the island on the other side. I got him though 😊
Kids and bluegills..... hard to beat.
