My son is a fishing whiz. He's been fishing since he was 3, he turns 9 next month. Last year he won the local 4H contest and this past weekend he was in the local fishing derby which had about 65 kids in it and he won 2nd place for crappie. Here he is with his trophy, a new rod and reel. He now as four or five of them of all sizes. He wants to go out tomorrow sometime and throw out a crayfish trap because the local bait shop is paying $25 for a hundred. He's becoming a pretty good go getter when it comes to making his own money especially if there's bait or fishing related stuff to go with it. He's got a couple more weeks to go before the 4H contest this year is over, the fishing hasn't been as great as last year between the oppressive heat and the rain, but he's got a couple nice 9 inch rock bass to show for his effort in addition to all the smaller perch and sunfish.
