Dad Help!!!

Crow Bait · 04-28-2008, 09:11 PM

We were lucky to have this young man on the boat on Sunday and he caught his first striper... a decent 35". He was ready to take the rod when I handed it to him, but after just a few seconds started yelling "DAD HELP!!" I remember uttering those same words when I was just a little guy and my dad grabbed me by the back of the shirt and made me continue reeling. Unfortunately, I gave Louie's dad the video camera, so all he could do is cheer his son, and watch!

You can tell he's relieved and happy when the fish comes in.

They are hard to reel in with the boat moving that fast. Been there, done that, though we only had two people on the boat and it was hard to coordinate. Good for him!

It's a lot harder than X-box!

That's great! What a wonderful memory. I must be hormonal tonight because that brought tears to my eyes. The tone in his dad's voice encouraging him was so sweet. *sigh*

OK, I need to go get my fishing poles ready. I'm dying to get out on the water and catch me some rock!

You wouldn't have missed it on Sunday. Other than a few fish, and the one I got on video, it was a pretty miserable day.

I can't wait to hear from this kid about his video though.

Great Dad for taking his kid fishing and great crew!

Louie's got the face "my shoulder is killing me!"

That was excellent...
