Three days a go I offered to my boat in the lake for my son Joey AKA Joey the fisherman. Well anyway after the second day which was yesturday I asked if he had caught anything Joey said NO there are NO fish in that lake.. I asked him the usual questions where,what you using and How have you been fishing..

I told him what to do and I know that being 15 years old he knows everything but I have always told him that if you lisen to your dad you will catch fish.. and when he listens and does what I tell him he catches fish.

So he asks me to show him where the fish are I had a hour to spare so we get our stuff and I notice that he wasdnt rigged right or at least how I told him to and I made mention of it he said>: just thought I would try my way I said ok set up your rod with this texas rig and he wanted to use his Gary Yamamoto worm so I said OK

Well I blast over to a spot and said now watch how I fish this tube jig I flipped next to the dock and he casted his line on the other side and turned his head for a second and then I felt that tell tale Thump I set the hook and I had a 2 1/2 pounder in the boat. I rubbed it in and said 1 cast 1 fish He looked at me and I quote " I hate you right now DAD" I tried this spot twice yesturday and knowthing... You schooled me dad grin

I rassed him a bit then proceded to tell him he needed to slow down a bit or acctually alot then I rerigged his hook with a power worm pumpkinseed and he tossed it in and had a bite but missed and then the very next cast he felt that thump he set the hook and had on a nice one but lost it at the boat.

Well I told him I had to head out to work but to come back to this spot later on and with a bit of luck you may hook up with that one again.

So I asked him what he learned today He put his head down and said.. If I listen to dad I will catch fish wink

I told him now its time for humility go tell your mother what you learned grin

After I get home from work 3am I look on the computor and see a tab that says LOOK DAD!!! and this is what I see..

Got to love 15 yr olds, as i was reading this i took out fishing for driving. it sounded just like my son and myself. Got to love them everyday but dont have to like the looks or gestures. All i know is one of these days Alice one of these Days.

I love it gordie!!! My son's 5 right now, and I can't wait for the day when I can let him go out on his own. I have to say my proudest moment as a father was when we were at gma & gpas earlier this summer. He went outside to play, grabbed his rod, found some worms under a log like we had the day before, baited his own hook, and came running up to the house 5 mins later with a 4" gill dangling from his line. Those are the moments I've been looking forward to since my wife showed me the "+" on the little stick. laugh

Great story, thanks so much for sharing. When I have my first kid, even though I'm going to be sleep deprived for much of the beginning and I'll marvel at how fast he/she grows, it won't be fast enough until they can first hold a fishing rod!

Thanks guys its is great to know your kid has the same intrests as you for instance I grabbed Joeys Ipod found out his top three songs were/are my three fav's

Joeys been fishing with since he has been 2 or 3 or at least been in the boat or fishouse with me and he's been in the duckblind since he's been 6 and I dont think in all that time he has ever said I wanna go home dad. He loves the outdoors

I will always be proud of my kids even if there are opps's along the way cause I had those too and it.s those opps's we learn from.

Thanks again
