A fun night fishing...

Had a rough day at work and stopped off at my favorite spot on the way home. There were a couple other people in the area including a gentleman and his family.
One of his sons approx 5-6 years old was fishing about 20 yards down from me and his father was fishing 10 yards or so on the other side of me.
I was out standing on some rocks on the edge of some ripples. The smallies were laying near the ripples and would hit a spinner or small jig as it went by.
I had caught a dozen or so and the little guy kept creeping closer and closer to me. I told him where to cast and when he did he hooked a 20" Channel cat. He did a great job landing it with a little help from me.
About 5 minutes later he was back and fishing right next to me. I paused for a moment to change lures and the little dude jumped up on my rock and started casting.
His father was all upset, I was laughing so hard I nearly fell in. I let him have the spot. He caught a couple of 6' smallies. His dad came over to apologize....I told him no problem....
I get a kick out of watching little kids fish.

Hell, my daughter will still do that, and she's 25...[:D]
Out in a boat, she will cast where I might have just caught a fish, on the dock...she will almost push me in to get a productive "spot"...ALL my fault from telling her to do just that...when she was little...[;)]
She's bugging me now...to take her to the ranch so she can shoot, and go fishing...she doesn't have to ask twice...trying to get things lined out to go this comming week...[8D]
He will learn to be a little less aggressive in spot jumping as he gets older or someone with a little tolerance for kids will toss him in the drink...
The little dude was a serious fisherman.
He sure has hole poaching down![:D][^]
