Ashman Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 They say, take a kid fishing....I did that today. I was very proud to take my son and grandson out ice fishing today. He is 3 1/2. The morning started out well, we got holes bored and he and I sat down to start fishing while my son bored more holes. My plan was to just sit in one spot with my grandson and introduce him to the sport. Man are we ever bundled up for the cold! He was doing pretty good, but as all toddlers do he became curious of his srroundings, saw his daddy fishing outside of the shanty and wanted to see him.....well when he turned around he walked right into one of the holes...fell in to his knee.....boot and sock soaked. So my son takes off the boot and tries drying it over the heater. So, we are back to fishing, and drying. Look at the bend in that rod! Aiden is hooked up with a monster and he is reelin like crazy....not realizing his dad is holding the line and jigging the whole time. Hey, it gave the little guy something to do and we could keep fishing. And finally, after a tough morning of reelin and fallin in the hole, he was plumb tuckered out. We caught zero fish, not even a bite....but this was a proud day for me....3 generations out fishing and enjoying each others company.....and that's what it's all about for me! Thanks for looking.
Nailer Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Made me smile Steve. I bet the three of you will have a lot of fun fishing together.

Hotdog71 Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 That's some awesome family time! The icing on the cake would have been catching some fish. Git em next time.
Priority1 Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Steve, Ya can't start them too early. You wore the little guy right out. Priceless.
Ashman Posted February 14, 2011 Author Posted February 14, 2011 Thanks fellas. Aiden must have remembered his expierience.....this morning, according to his mom, he told her "I got the BIG one"! He thinks he caught the lure.....how priceless is that.
ITOFlies Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Awsome, Just Awsome! it does not get much better then that!
JWheeler Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 That's awesome! Looks like the day took it right out of him. I took my daughter, about the same age, a few weekends ago. It was definitely not about the fishing.
Adam Bomb Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Looks like a fine day. Always a joy taking children fishing. Probably the one thing i miss most from my chartering days.
