Take A Kid Fishing

[Kent]

Last summer, I took my 10-year-old grandson and his friend to Deer Creek. I demonstrated to the friend (who had never caught a fish) how to cast a closed bail reel with a jig. I handed the pole to the boy and watched him cast about 25 feet, and then I proceeded to tie a jig on my grandson's pole. The friend started screaming that he had a fish on. I couldn't believe it, his first cast and he landed a 15 inch small mouth bass. In a few minutes he landed an even walleye. He would have caught several more fish, but he kept forgetting to set the hook. My grandson also caught a few fish, so it was a great day of fishing. All six of my grandchildren love to fish, and I enjoy taking them.
