solopaddler Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 I recently brought my son and uncle out for a day of steelheading. It was kind of neat for me as my uncle, now pushing 80 was my angling mentor as a young child. It did my heart good to have all 3 of us in the boat together. My sons enthusiasm is contagious.

danc Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Just fantastic Mike. The young lad really handles that long rod very well. I predict a life long obsession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pikeslayer8 Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 That was great. Your son's unbridled enthusiasm clearly evident! May I suggest a longer net for ole Uncle Horace.

streamside Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 So great to see. Can't wait to get mine off sunfish at the dock and onto the river or canoe for trout. I think we can all relate to his enthusiasm. That's why we still fish isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basskicker Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 That's awesome Mike. Your going to have some serious competition in a few years!!!lol. We got hammered with snow here the last 2 days and the lakes are frozen!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the play by play, and in th end the smile says it all.Big congrats on his first steelie,i'm sur it wont be his last...Good on yah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solopaddler Posted November 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Thanks lads, glad you enjoyed! You are a great dad !!! Just a dad, nothing special. The young lad really handles that long rod very well. He really does, kind of boggles my mind actually. You should see him cast too. For a kid who just turned 5 he's doing pretty well. That was great. Your son's unbridled enthusiasm clearly evident! May I suggest a longer net for ole Uncle Horace. Thanks for sharing. You are a most patient father. Yeah I know, a longer net would've helped for sure! It's uncle Horst btw. He's mistakenly been called a lot of things over the years, from Horace, to Horse. nice going thats what its all about Nice to see you chime in, havn't seen you on the board in a while! That's awesome Mike. Your going to have some serious competition in a few years!!!lol. We got hammered with snow here the last 2 days and the lakes are frozen!!! Oh man, I'm not even close to being ready for snow yet. Enjoy yourself up there bud, it must really be an adventure! Way to go Mike ,Candidate for father of the year! ! Thanks, but most dads would do the same. I'm no different than a million others... Wish I could get my daughter out, that's currently the big challenge for me.

misfish Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Great time eh Mike. I was cringing when I seen the rod bend on the boat and sliding accross. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icefisherman Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Lovely videos Mike. Three generation fishing together...not much more a dad can ask for... Especially the second one...your son is a year younger than my older one and is doing very very well for his age....now I'd like to see him pulling a 20 Lbs King on Lake O. that would be even better video ha ha ha Cheers, Ice Fisherman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Loved the videos Looks like he's already fighting fish like a pro! Must have been tough for him to use such a long rod in the boat too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
