mike rousseau Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Just thought I'd give you all the short and sweet on this one... Took my 3 year old fishing for walleye with his new Micky mouse rod (the ones about 2 feet long). 7-8 pounder got it to the boat and the hook popped... Lol... Turn around for another pass and bang... A 4.5-5 pounder on the 2 foot rod... Lol Couldn't believe it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbuck Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 On many an outing, my daughter's dora the explorer rod was the hot stick, whether it was panfish or pike. Hopefully, your little guy will develop a passion for fishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Cliff Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 We had a 7 year old land a 43" muskie off our dock with a Spiderman fishing rod. There were a few tense moments as she screamed "it's going to pull me in the water"! Dad had to net it for her but she got it to the dock! Glad to hear your young lad is getting some fish, won't be long and he'll be out fishing dad LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercman Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Not surprised Mike. You could catch walleye on shoe laces if you had to. Good to see Connor is following your footsteps Bud ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manitoubass2 Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 That's awesome mike! My son landed the biggest smallie I've seen in my life on one of those rods. Almost gave me a heart attack watching him fight it lol. As soon as it got close enough i hand lined it to make sure he got it lol. Wrecked his whole spool of line haha stretched right out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimsbylander Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Great idea. I could take so many more rods in the rod locker too! Sounds like a you had a blast! If he had landed that first walleye, his PB would have beat mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck2fan Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 I have seen it many a time..... Kid with the cartoon character rod handing us the humble pie. I especially love it when the kid catches a HUGE carp and lands it. While the "pros" with 500 bucks worth of rods and pods get skunked!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
