Chief Dick Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Heading to Minnesota for the annual fishing trip to the Brainerd Lakes area. 7 days of no phones, no internet, and no TV. Pure heaven. Savage can vouch for the place we're going: he's been there. Great bass and pike fishing, with a few crappie and walleye thrown in for good measure. We'll be in Eden Prairie tomorrow night, so if any of the Minny huddlers want to grab a beer, I can probably grab a 12 pack and meet you at our hotel. Send me a PM and I'll check it in the morning. Have a good week all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Dick Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) Just got back. A great week of family, good food, good fishing, and lots of cold beer. Quick story: My 4 year old is absolutely nuts for fishing. I'm sure I've bragged on him before, but here's the latest story: He and I and my 6 year old are out fishing on the last day. We had sucker minnows out all day with one bite, so not much action. We moved spots and threw out some minnows, and in the meanwhile he pulls a 6" Rap from my tackle box. He's using his Zebco 33, since his spinning rod has the minnow on it. (yes, my 4 year old has a spinning rod, and he knows how to use it ) So he's throwing this rap around, and says to me: "Daddy, I got one." He'd been casting to the edge of a Josh Gordon bed, so I looked over to make sure he wasn't hung up. Sure enough, his line is moving in the water, so I tell him: "Start reeling. Reel hard and keep your rod tip up." So he gets the fish close to the boat, and the fish is staying down. I tell him: "Lift up your rod tip. Get him out of the weeds." He lifts up the rod tip all on his own, and proceeds to pull this in. 24" northern, a little under 4 pounds. Not bad for a 4 year old, and all I did was net the fish. Needless to say, all three of us were laughing and excited as hell. Great way to end the week. Edited June 17, 2012 by Chief Dick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like you had a blast! I love fishing and hopefully with life settling down soon, I can get back to doing more of it. Great pic!

Chief Dick Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 (edited) Good for him. He is now hooked on fishing for life. Always good to get away with the family. Good times! That boy has been hooked on fishing since he was 2. It's pretty amazing: he's been able to cast a full size Zebco since he was about 2 and a half. He can cast a spinning rod on his own. He knows the name of every lure in my tackle box and his tackle box, AND what it does. This kid was born to fish.
