I haven't posted a report in a while. My son is 4 1/2 and he is the perfect age to take him wherever I go. He has already been to the flats 5 or 6 times this season and to the river more times than I can count. He is not at the point where he can rig his own bait, cast and bring the fish in. My father in law and I took him with us to a pond that is on a plantation about 10 miles south of my house. We put in the pond and I was in the process of getting everything together. My son was chomping at the bit to start fishing. He picked a black zoom 7 inch u-tail worm out of my tacklebox and started fishing. Within 2 casts he brought this fish in the boat. It's not a monster but I am very proud of him. Being a dad sure changes your perspective on a good day fishing. This was one of the best. It also doesn't hurt that his PaPa is a taxidermist. I don't keep many bass, but this one will go in his room.

AWESOME !! Great times create life-long memories

If it was on Pineland i spent a may a day there and fished the cypress ponds

I think I would let him pick his own lure more often! Nice fish

Way to go Little Buccaneer!

Atta Boy!!! I remember when my dad took me out for the first time, and that was thirty cough-cough years ago.

Awesome! There is one about that same size on my son's wall. Those memories will never go away for you or him!

Man the memories I have of fishing with dad at that age!! good for you for taking him with you!

Those are the memories you never forget. And neither will he.

Awesome!!

Awesome!!!

Good one. I've fished Pineland a few times myself. Love it out there. Been quite a few years ago though. Thanks for the report.
