Skipper D Posted July 25, 2012 Report Posted July 25, 2012 (edited) What do you say when a twelve year old says at bed time , do you want to go fishing in the morning grandpa . I woke him up at 6 this morning and asked him the question .... lol , it did'nt take long he was up dressed and out the door we went together for the first time . The fishing was'nt all that great to speak of , we only fished for perch and tryed to find the big ones all over the lake with no sucsess , I did keep enought small ones to make a meal for us all tonight so he'd know what its all about , I enjoyed teaching him what little i knew and had fun watching him enjoy him self , i think the high lite of the hole day for him was the school of minnows that came to greet us , they stuck close to the boat for the longest time while he tryed over and over to catch them with a pail . He asked me if i was going to share this with the people on OFC when we got home ... lol , he fell asleep on the sofa a little while ago after we turned the fish to fillets for his grandma to make and feed him for supper . first pic .... school of minnows around the boat , second pic .... Skippy jr showing me the way home . Edited July 25, 2012 by Skipper " D "

Billy Bob Posted July 25, 2012 Report Posted July 25, 2012 "Take me fishing Grandpa" is the best words a guy could ever hear....
Tdel Posted July 25, 2012 Report Posted July 25, 2012 Creating memories for both of you and I guarantee he will remember them when he is old and grey and pass it on to his grand-kids. Good post Skipper!!! Tom.
GBW Posted July 26, 2012 Report Posted July 26, 2012 Nice. I never got a chance to fish with my grandpa due to his passing. I hope he enjoys it and recalls it often over time.
