I love fishing. But I REALLY love hearing a laugh and giggle from a little one as they catch their first fish. Or their 100th fish. Having 8 kids, I am privaledged to hear that sort of thing often :tup:
Here are some of my kids and my favorite fishing pics of them:
Ethan 'battling' a large salmon. 2 or 3 years old here.

Love it! My favorite pics are those where the rod is "taco'd" from a big fish on the other end and the kid is grinning from ear to ear or even cringing from the 'epic' struggle and battle :tup:

I've got about 1000 more, and hunting, archery, shooting... and I've only got two and the oldest is 9!
Great thread, wafish!

Awesome Rainshadow! Some nice fish in there and fun pics. That alpine lake looks AWESOME - love hike in lakes and alpine trout. A clear casting bobber and fly works well when they are being picky and easily spooked :twocents:

Absolutely priceless. Thanks for sharing them RS.
-
Great job everyone.

No fish at the lakes but he did manage to catch one on the river on our way home.
-
Nice cuttie for the little guy. Great looking water too.
-
I never thought fishing with my 2.5 year old son would be soo much fun...when he's good. He likes to watch YouTube videos of people fishing and was stoked about his fishing pole for Christmas. I went fishing this am and when came home he asked me if I went fishing and if I caught a monster fish. The proceeded to flip the lid of the cooler and look.
:fishin:
-
I think that this is one of the greatest threads ever on this site. I think every one of these pictures represents great memories for these kids for the rest of their life. All wholesome stuff!
-
Ripper,

Oops, found another.

He was still trying! Last one of us to quit, I wanted him to hook up SO bad, but he never got another bite! He came in wearing my red raincoat with pockets containing about a gallon of river each!
-
One of my favorites from the past. After a long evening of my kids fishing with their best friends, filling up my bucket with perch, sunfish, crappie and rockbass.
These dock fishing trips in warm weather are some of our favorite outings over the years. Constant fish action, sometimes up to 100 fish in the bucket.
-
Last couple of years...tbis kid can flip a worm!
