Yesterday evening my 6 year old said he wanted to go fishing. I had a bass tournament Saturday and was cleaning out my boat Monday night and this came out as he watched. I said I have to work tomorrow. He said, "well daddy, you could leave work a few hours early and take me fishing". I stated thinking and figured he was right.
Today I left work at 2:30, hooked up the boat and picked up my son. It rained on and off but that was not that bad as I continued to put crickets on his hook. Later he said, "daddy you are not fishing....why". I said, " Dru, I am just watching and helping you". He then said, "yeah, we are just spending time together, I really like the time we spend together". That was when I almost choked up.
Take a kid fishing next time you get a chance....They are worth it.
Edit because he did catch 4 bream today.
