Friday Fishing Stories: Jacob’s First Fish!

in #fishing7 years ago

In today’s fishing story, I will share about the first fish Jacob caught!

Jacob was 14 months old when he caught his first fish. I bought a little fishing pole for him with Lightning MqQueen from the Cars movie on it. He loved the rod and reel, and the reel lights up and flashes when you press the casting button!

We were in Arizona doing some vacationing and I brought the fishing pole with us. I knew of a few small ponds that held some largemouth bass and bluegill, so we decided to walk to the ponds and give it a try.

Since Jacob was too young to truly fish, I set his pole up with a plastic worm and casted out for him. It did not take too long for us to hook into a decent sized Largemouth Bass! I had Jacob sit in my lap and I helped him reel in his first fish. Reeling the bass in was not easy to do, as the fish was a good size and the Lighting McQueen fishing pole was not really made to handle bigger fish. It took a minute or two to reel in the bass, but we caught it!

Jacob seemed to enjoy himself, although it was fairly hot and there was a little bit of a walk to get to the pond, so he was a bit flushed - I probably enjoyed the experience and catch more than he did! He also didn’t want to touch the fish at all this first time!

Jacob has caught some more fish since this first one, and I believe he had more fun on the next few fishing adventures – hopefully I will get to share those at some point as well.

However, this first fish was a memorable one, and I am glad to have captured the moment so that I do not soon forget the fun time we had catching Jacob’s first fish!

Thanks for reading,

Brian

Where is that? I am having a tough time finding any ponds around me with bass these days.

A fisherman never shares his secret spots 😉 It was in Bullhead City! I will have to take you sometime!

Awesome post! My most cherished memories was fishing with my father. You guys look like you had a great time.

Also, this was a great post for @muhuntingfishing/ #myhuntingfishing community. If you have more of these use the tag for a resteem.

Again, Awesome post, Tight Lines!

Thanks @nickbuha! Edit, that is @myhuntingfishing

Im sorry, my typos. lol One of my future contests is going to be finding all of the grammar errors in one of my posts. My girlfriend already agreed to read one over and give me a list of them. I'm waiting for a long one.

Hello friend @brian.rrr. What a good friend I'm really glad that you have a lot of fun with Jacop and he does it with you since that way the love of you will continue to grow towards him, and of you and as he grows he will always ask for support for everything and that it's good. I like the idea that together with Jacop you go fishing because this way you can get that same taste of yours for fishing, and when you are bigger and you will like it a lot and will always tell you to go fishing and the best You will already have experience in fishing and the two together will catch even more fish and have fun always fishing. Wow to be the first fish of Jacop is big and the rod that I use I think it was not to catch one so big but if I achieve it and I like that. I hope you share with us the next fishing adventures of Jacop and your friend. Greetings to you and your family.

Nice post

I love the first picture!!! He looks so proud to have caught that fish. Lol
I love that you are getting your kids involved in fishing at such a young age. It is an amazing family pass time. My kids, especially my oldest daughter, absolutely love fishing. Last year we got a crappy 16 foot aluminum boat but everyone lives it. It gets us out on the lake and feed our obsession.

At 14 months he already caught a bigger fish than I ever have. I don't know that I want to see what he's catching now. Ha ha! :)
Good job, little buddy!

Very nice moment.You are really an ideal father.
Your friendly conduct with your son jacob really impressed me. . dear @brian.rrr
You and your son Jacob holy love should live forever. . Stay blessed

Well, fun entertainment, you are a smart father to entertain and educate a child, a smart and responsible father, should be a role model.

very nice to see this, since everything good you do you will transmit it to your son, where he will see this as a hobby from father to son to get his own union, it is also memorable to capture these moments with the youngest of the house where Most are his first time and I laughed a lot when he saw that he would not like to touch it. Hahahaha. You are right that it is his first time but when you have more confidence you will see that he will take you to fish and he will be playing with the fish that you take out. and good day.

Brian, I can see you're an excellent father! Even though your child is small and does not understand it yet, in the future he will thank you. Son of a cat, he will hunt a mouse, or rather, the son of a fisherman, he will undoubtedly know how to fish! God bless your children. Best regards.

Fishing is one of my favorite activities and I know how exciting it is to catch the first fish. You did a good job, Jacob has a lot of strength, the fish is not small.

hello friend how are you, had a wonderful father and son experience, the moments you share with your family are the ones that will remain forever in your mind so enjoy them to the fullest, little by little the anger losing the fear, your son is very beautiful God bless you, greetings!

How are you friend? I like your fishing stories on Fridays although I think you enjoy the stories that you raise. Jacob had his red cheeks I see that it was very hot there, it is big the fish I think he did well in his first time although I was the one I would not have touched it even great there are times that give me some fear hahaha @brian.rrr

Fishing since childhood as his father that well and he also liked it well maybe someday jacob you win and catch more fish than you, he was lucky his first time and the fishing rod perfect for him, it seems that I enjoy it looks very tender , I hope I can go fishing soon and see how it is going to jacob with fishing
