Little guy's first smallie!!!

[polarsusd81]

So if any of you know me, you know I have a little boy of a little more than three years. This little boy goes by the name of Hunter. Hunter loves fish and has been carrying a fishing pole around the house since he was about 6 months old. I got him out a bit this afternoon between spurts of rain for a little fishing on the river. On the second cast, he capitalized. I gave an assist with the cast and the hook set, but he handled the rest. Nearly getting pulled in by this crazy little river smallmouth, I did put an arm around him during the fight.

Enjoy. We sure as heck did!

Deep concentration...

And it pays off!

well done! i also have a three year old fishing partner, and when you get to see that excitement in their eyes, smile on their face, and retelling of their tale; it is truly a special moment. keep up the hard work, it certainly is not easy, but well worth it in the long run.

That is a great picture of the two of you. It will be treasured for many years to come. I have a two year old daughter that will be with me throughout next year. I can't wait.

Yeah, that first picture is going to be framed and put on the wall in the man cave. The other one is going to be framed for his bedroom. Thanks for all the comments guys. Hunter sure was happy catching that fish.

I hear ya there, my 11 year old is my fishing partner. He drives the motor, is my main net man, and never lets me hear the end of it IF he outfishes me. He still talks about times from 3 years ago when he got LUCKY.
