John Z. & His 5 Year Old Grandson Fishing Trip Report

Happy Thanksgiving!
Thought I’d share some fishing news:
I took my visiting 5 year old grandson on his first ‘fishing trip’. We have a small pond in this wooded area behind our house and since his parents had left us alone while out shopping, we decided to go fishing. We had a lot of trouble trying to dig up worms, but we finally found 3 tiny little guys.

Anyway, after some lessons on how the bobber on the line works, he wound up catching 5 sunfish to my one! I tried to explain that he caught more than me because I was the one constantly rebaiting the hooks and that he was holding the rods 90 percent of the time.
Later I heard him tell his Grandma that he was a good fisherman today and that Grandpa was a bad fisherman.
Some things never change I guess!

    Nice job grandpa. Remember he will be taking you someday and making sure you have just as much fun as he did. Thanks for passing on the love of fishing to that fine young man.

    Good story!
    I’d say you make a pretty good engineer too, judging by your motorized W500 ;)

    John, your grandson has talent for catching fish, and you have a good excuse for not catching much, plus both of you had a good time… :)
    Sounds perfect to me! :D

    I was about 7 when my uncle took me fishing and I caught my frist fish and I can still remember that day at 60yrs old .I love to see the look on the kids face when they catch the first fish . The Wavewalk is the prefect little boat to take any kid on .My grandson and I have had the best summer ever.The look on your grandsons face is priceless.Hope to see many more with a big bass .
