Best birthday present...

I took my 3 year old fishing yesterday on my birthday for a couple of hours. I've been taking him every weekend for a month hoping he'd catch his own fish -- yesterday was his day -- he caught his very first crappie all by himself, and had a blast reeling it in. He was even more excited when he saw a live fish come throught the hole.

We both had a really good time and Dad was thrilled. Brought back many, many memories of when I was that age fishing with my dad.

Great day -- just wanted to share.

When my daughter caught her first fish, it was one of the best feelings in the world! She is only four years old, but if I go fishing without her, she is mad as heck when I get home. I have a true fishing partner with her-she would go in any weather condition if Mommy(and I) would let her!

That's the best feeling in the world. Not yesterday, but last sunday, I took both my girls (8 and 6) out fishing for the afternoon and they caught close to 50 sunnies. They had a complete blast and my wife and I just loved watching them have fun.

I'm gonna take my 8 yr old out hunting for bunnies and squirrels this afternoon. I hope she has as good of luck as your son.

Thanks for sharing your great day.

Hey Eckie... Great pictures. I am so happy that your son caught his first fish and on your birthday!! That is a memory that you will keep forever...

Enjoy every moment that you can with your son as he grows up. They grow up way too fast. Mine is now serving in Iraq as a Marine and I miss him so much... Everytime I go out hunting and fishing I cant help but remember the great times that we had while he was growing up...

Wish I could do them all over again...

By the way, Happy Birthday!!

Picks...only the father of a 5 yr old would notice the "Cheeto" mustache grin. And as long as I have an endless supply of Tootsie pops...we're good for a couple of hours.

The heater is my neighbor's. I had borrowed my Buddy heater out, and he graciously borrowed me his old heater...not quite sure, but I think it's an old version of a mini-sunflower...it worked well and easy to use with a 1lb tank.
