Congrats El, in the years to come you'll enjoy your kids' fish way more than your own. A moment will come when you'll watch him tie on his own rig and handle his own stuff, and the ole man'll realize just how fast life slips by. It'll hit you like a ton of bricks and you'll have to 'get a a doggone gnat out of your eye' to hide the tears. Enjoy every second.

My sons have turned to surly, self centered teenagers, but the memories of our zillions of fishing trips since they were both in diapers are truly priceless.

The 5 year old daughter caught a few 'gills at Barren yesterday on her Barbie rig. Educational for her because half the mealworms we bought last time we were out had morphed into beetles. A few months back a nice little blue cat grabbed her waxworm while she was 'gillin. Dad had to help her a little on that one. The drag on the ole Barbie rig got smoked, but we put him in the boat for a CPR.
