We broke in the new boat with style last weekend. My 9 year old daughter and 12 year old son had to show me how it's done!

Daughters 9 lb pike.

Sons 9 lb pike.

A long skinny 9 lbs.

A stocky 12 lb

Daughters 18 lb 6 oz pike. She did it all herself!

Overall, the boat is sufficiently slimed and off to a great start!

Outstanding family outing and very nice pike.

Nice! And may many more cross your gunnels!

Nice going!

It is rare for a Canuck to like jacks.

Great looking young folks!

I am so glad to see fishing depicted as a FAMILY activity!

Congratulations to the young Lady and Man!

Well done! Great stuff right there.

We'll be heading to NW Ontario (English River) for our 21st season of fishing there in a few weeks...

I've always loved catching pike. While all of these were released, they make great eating. I can clean and debone them in the same time it takes to do a walleye and when they are out of cold water and fresh you have a hard time telling them apart.

You Sir are a Good fisherman and a Better Parent..... It is a blessing to be out fished by the next generation.
