And came home with these, pretty good trade........




Aiden's first fish!




All in all a pretty damn good day.

Nice!

Yep, that's a very good trade. Lot of fun to catch and even more fun when kids are getting in on the action. Good-eating fish, too!

Nice!

Heck yeah, nice job dad

Awesome! Good eats right there

KIds and fishing - Great stuff!

Gotta love putting a kid on a bunch of bluegills and shellcrackers.

Excellent!

Coppernose bluegills are some fine eating!

Awesome pops.

eh hem, life jacket.

Nice

Nothing better than a good mess of
fried up brim

Fried bream, home fries with a little onion, white bread and butter=the best breakfast ever!

Nice work!

Nice haul of Bluegill...!!!

Good job you lucky sucker.

Covid and boat trouble kept me off them this summer.

Looks like a good time

Nice!

Bluegills, pumpkinseeds, and hybrids of the two?

Fantastic,hope the little guy is "hooked"

Time well spent!

Catching fish with kids. What is better ?
Today is my nephew's 15th Bday and a friend took him fishing. 4 casts and he catches a 4 # bass. 4 more casts and he catches a 4 1/2 # bass. 4 more and he catches a 5 .1 # bass. NOW THAT IS A HAPPY BIRTHDAY !! Ray

Where you get those?

Does not get any better than that. Well done

Outstanding

Awesome!!! I love those little guys.One of the best baits I've used is a bullfrog tongue.Those tongues are tough and you can catch a boat load of perch with just one.Enjoy your catch!!!

Stearns? Milhouse? Or is that the 68th St bridge in the background? Doesn't matter. Fish fry at Mags tonight!

Kudos to the lad. Looks like he was having a blast!

Hard to imagine a better way to spend a day. Enjoy the time, he will be gone before you know it.

Awesome catch!

mag, that's an awesome day, brother.

My favorite fish to eat. Good job Aiden!👍

A great day! Congrats! memtb

Great job Dad. I started taking my G daughter when she was four or five, and her Dad took her out often as well.


Today, she is seventeen and will be a Senior in H School this fall. She goes out with her Mom on their boat quite often, and with me every chance I get to take my boat out. On the off days, there's a pond in front of my house with large mouth and smallies. I don't think a day goes by, that she does not pick up a rod and reel.

It sure beats the hell out of all the things the other senior class girls are doing with their free time.

Start 'em young and they will have a lifetime of enjoyment.

He will never forget his first fish . Great pictures .

I am curious, too. I would call some longear and wonder about the rest.

im a jealous bish now

Absolutely, I figure give them something other than drugs or alcohol to spend their time and money.

In between you and me.

Colour me vert.

68th street bridge would be to the left, straight ahead is the cow farm.

Nobody is fishing that backwater right now so there is no pressure on the fish. we ran out of worms so we left. I'll bet we caught close to 50 fish today in 2 1/2 hours.

Super jealous I’m 4 weeks from being an empty nester and loosing my last hunting and fishing partner to the university. Enjoy every minute time goes way to fast.

Those are some nice gills !!

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.

Thanks for sharing. Needed a pick-me-up 👍

Do not discount how important some of you are to your kids doing these activities. My dad was always on the road and I don't think he really knew much about hunting and fishing and camping. I would kind of venture out on my own or with a friend. My dad was truly a great man but I think I would have treasured moments like these with him.

That smile on young Mr. Aiden makes it all worth it. Nicely done Paul.

Time well spent with your kid.

Thanks Steve, Aiden is my sons girlfriends son, he is such a good boy.

Hey, gee thanks for the invite, pal.

Sorry, me an Wabi just couldnt make it this time.

Anytime Jag, you know that!

Ya gonna have to use real worms though, they won't bite on them itty bitty Texas worms........

Hehehe. You evidently aint heard about our Texas worms. Yer women up there callem snakes.

Lol, Oh yeah, you mean "Snow Snakes".........

Hahaha. Tff.
