Yes. I try to get my kids excited about fishing any chance I get. That usually means actually catching fish! Saturday afternoon I took the boys down to the river and putzed around. I hooked a big fish that I played for about ten minutes and never even saw it. I was pretty excited and asked my oldest son (7) to grab the camera out of the rig which was parked about 20 feet away. He's farting around trying to tie a leader setup he found on the beach to a stick (Huck Finn steelheader). He looks at me and says "not now Dad, I'm busy. Ended up losing the fish anyway.

Opening day for the last few years has been the Fortson Pond Derby. Talk about a fiasco!
