Posts: 3864 | One of my 3 kids has developed an amazing set of skills in the field of fish catching. She's 15y/o and won the "2007 Kalamazoo Gazette Big Fish Contest, Walleye Division" with a 31" fatty that will soon be on the wall in my house. Now check this out....she caught that walleye bottom fishing next to the boat on a little jig/live leach using a 4.5' microlight rod with a Pinnacle Ice Reel loaded with 3# braided superline. She hooked it in 30' of water and it took over 10 minutes just to get the fish to come off the lake bottom. Then another 15 minutes bringing her up, and up, and up. I kept the boat right on top of the fish and I netted that wallye the first time she appeared and rolled on the surface near the boat. 3# test line!!!!! She also caught and released about 15 walleyes between 25" and 30" over the last season. All of these fish in a lake that's not suppose to have hardly any walleyes at all. Check this out.....you know how bass hold in the shade under piers and attached ski boats/pontoon boats in the summer mornings? Walking along the shore, she'll get one or two bass from every pier she hits. She says walking on the pier spooks the bigger bass so she only fishes from shore. She's learned to underhand flip a tiny jig, from shore, under and all the way to the a$$ end of a moored pontoon boat. Distance-wise, she can toss that little jig 30 or so feet without the jig ever rising more than 2 feet above the water. I can't do that and I bet you can't either. Sheet, Kevin Van Dam, aka Mr. Vacume Cleaner, can't do that. Man, she can fish and I'm so proud of her, and love her so much, well, I get dizzy when I think of it all. Any cool stories of yer kid?

| Not my kid, don't have any of my own yet, but my nephew... Instead of having a traditional rattle he would carry around a burt, jake, or shallow raider without hooks on it. Kids like to chew on stuff, instead of toys, teething rings, etc., this kid would walk around chewing on a hookless bulldawg. By the time he was three he could go through a tackle box and name muskie baits. When Merckid saw him doing this he couldn't believe it. He would pull baits out of boxes and wouldn't tangle them, would be careful of the hooks, and would sit there telling you exactly what each bait was. My brother took him into Rollie and Helen's and he just shook with excitement and walked around naming almost every bait there was. Kids his age normally watch kids shows. Not this one. If a fishing show, any fishing show comes on he'll pull up a chair for him and his dad to watch it. This pic is from a stocking project where we took him along. He was not shy at all about reaching in and grabbing little muskies to stock. As he's dumping them over the side of the boat he was telling them "grow bigger so my daddy can catch you someday." Pretty cool stuff. Attachments ---------------- stocking1.JPG (64KB - 109 downloads) | |||

Location: Minneapolis, MN | This will be the year of less muskie fishing for me as my son loves to go pan fishing. I never thought I would find myself on Vermilion fishing for blue gills but I wouldn't change a thing. Attachments ---------------- IMG_1843.jpg (38KB - 108 downloads) | ||
