Took my youngest out for his first time fishing for Channel Cats. At 7:45 he hooked his first. Not a big one but he was happy. About 5 minutes later he hooked a bonus sucker that did not want to get landed. Then the craziness started. Non-stop action until we left at 9:00. I lost count of the numbers and he had some bigger fish but here is a photo of him with an early one before the sun set! Man, that was a lot of fun!!! Two happy fisherman...one young and one not so young

Good times! Thanks for sharing.

Awesome report! Suckers been hitting a lot lately.

Great work man. Happy to hear you hooked into some cats.

He looks very proud! Great pics!

That's awesome.

I have many memories of cat fishing when I was a wee lad with my dad, both of grandpa's, and many great uncles. This is something he won't soon forget.

Great pics man. Father and son fishing is priceless .

Good stuff!! I did very well at that spot a few days ago, lots of action it never gets boring!

A day the lad won't soon forget. Great stuff.

Congrats on a great day out with your son and he will never forget it. Nice pics

Just a tip incase the lad gets poked by one of the catfishes spikes that we know can be painful. Keep a bottle of hand sanitizer in your tackle box. If you get poked just wash the affected area with it and the pain is gone!!!

Good job on the fun night of catfishing

Just wanted to say respect to the kid for his choice of hat!! Great outing, and nice cat for him....and certainly nice to see a young guy paying tribute to the lads that made Canada free.

Nowadays, everyone else is so focused on importing new Canadians that have no clue and don't care about our history and culture..

Missed this post earlier. He has a huge interest in Canadian Military history that actually began with his interest in the American civil war. After he learned about our family history he became very interested in WWI and has started collecting those brutally expensive cast figures to create a trench scene.

Both my Grandfathers (his great-grandfathers) fought in WW1 and one of them was in the 5th Canadian Mounted rifles and fought (and obviously survived luckily for both of us) at both Vimy Ridge and "Wipers" (Ypres).

Lest we forget!

Awesome!

More parenting done right!
