Read TroutFools post a bit ago and thought some of us might have a story or 2 to share about kids and fishing.
I have many but one came to mind as I read his post.
Bout 5 yrs ago my bride, a son in law, a granddaughter, and my self were on Strawberry casting jigs. (catching was good)
Gramma says to the 5 year old granddaughter, "let me show you how to do that". Gramma picks up her 3" Barbie fishing rod for casting demonstration. She winds up and promptly throws the granddaughters rod in the lake.
As luck would have it the son in laws line was not in the water and was able to cast out the 10' hook and retrieve her rod.
Gramma still to this day gets teased with "let me show you how to do that" on a quite regular basis.
