I have been taking Evan fishing every once and awhile now for the last few years. This was the first year I actually let him use a hook and some bait – and he – with the help of Grandpa Z a few weeks ago caught a few fish. Yesterday when we were at the bait store – he decided he needed a net so I bought him one. Once we got to our fishing spot he wanted nothing to do with his pole – and only wanted to make “mud smoke” by dragging the net in the water/mud. He did help me pull in a Blue Gill (in the photo) with his net and he was super excited. Hopefully next time we will get a huge fish that will actually require the use of the net 😉
