kid fishing at Panacea

Took my friend John Webb and his son Walker out to catch some fish.
Walker has been fishing but has not caught a fish.
The goal: Walker must catch a fish unassisted.

We ran out and got a few casts in before a storm cloud ran us in- I got one keeper- about 20 "

Then Walker reeled in a lady fish that I hooked-

Image

The clouds were building so we ran into HookWrecks and had a snack while a storm cloud blew through- Seafood Nachos :lick: :lick:

We ran back out and baited walker up with Shrimp... moments later he caught his first fish ever! We pulled out the net to assure we got it in the boat.

A few moments later fish #2
Image
and #3 The Sponge Bob Rod is deadly!
Image
Walker caught a number of other pin fish and had a trout break the line right at the boat :smt009

I finished the day with a nice 23 incher...

Far from a serious trip but a lot of fun and good to see My buddy and his son having fun together!

Sorry Bman.... I'm gonna have to disagree. All things considered, you'll be hard pressed to ever have a better trip. :thumbup: In addition to the experience and his Dad, You will forever be special to a young man... can't even begin to put a value on that. :D Good job.

I brought it home from Sports authority last week- $5
My first thought is that is an old man's hat- but it will keep my ears from burning.
First word out of a friends mouth- "Nice Hat Pops"

I agree with you- It was fun and I could tell he and his dad were having a good time!
