Ward Family Reunion 2012- Fishing

The boys have been asking for months if they could go fishing...so they were really excited when Papa mentioned that he was bringing his fishing gear camping!  As parents hoped and prayed that the boys would have a good experience fishing...because as anyone knows, fishing is only fun if you catch something - and honestly, how often does that really happen?  It is usually a whole lot of waiting around and waiting around some more...so that being said - the girls decided that the "fishing experience" was a man thing!  And they all sent their husbands off with the little boys to do their thing, while the lady folk headed off to the beach!  Well, the fishing trip started out a little frustrating...not a whole lot of anything.. and the boys started to get bored...and then a beautiful thing happened!  Fish came from heaven, well - ok, it was not exactly heaven, it was a fish and game man who dumped literally a truck load of fish right into the river, right where our men were fishing...and wouldn't you know it- EVERY KID got to catch a fish!  Success at its finest!  Fishing trips don't get much better than that - that is better than a stock pond!  Needless to say, the boys had a fantastic fishing experience and were very proud of those little fish!

For a kid to ask if he could go fishing is quite impressive. I see great potential in them. Who knows, maybe he might become a legendary fisherman in the future. :P They all look so happy! It must’ve been a really great fishing day, huh?

I agree with what Melanie, that with enough motivation, he could be a legendary fisherman someday. Just don't let his skills rust. Guide him and sharpen his skills. It would be much better if you let him read books about fishing as well.
