Saturday was Pa's mentored youth day, so I took my son, not quite 3. These were stocked, so easy fishing. Kept him out an hr, then we quit because I wanted to quit while he was still having fun! I want him to learn to enjoy fishing as I do! We caught 14 in that hr, and we kept these 2. (They are allowed to keep 2. ) The beautiful golden rainbow was 19 1/2 inches and 3 lbs, 2 oz. I am planning on getting a replica mount made! And before I get flamed for keeping fish, this was stocked in a park where the water gets pretty warm in the summer. Game commission doesn't plan on them surviving the summer. Plus we made them and ate them, teaching him the " water/field to table" concept. He had plenty of fun, and so did I!!
......the occasional hunter wielding a hopelessly inaccurate rifle, living by the fantastical rule that this cartridge can deliver the goods, regardless of shot placement or rifle accuracy. The correct term for this is minute of ego.

Making memories together, that's outstanding!
I love his smile!

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

Yes. Always best to assure success for the really young ones. Hope they clean up the fins etc on the replica. Those hatchery fish are pretty rough looking customers.
