I know this is WAY late, but it was a special fishin' trip for me so I decided to share anyhoo. My sister-in-law had the camera and I waited until she got around to sending the pics. I went to a family wedding (wife's side) in Ventura a couple of weeks ago. It was the first time in a LONG time that I got to hang out with my nephews from Utah. Their dad, my bro-in-law, is a heck of a cool guy but does not fish. Therefore, his kids, have never fished before. I made the executive decision to get my nephew Broc (age 5 1/2), on his first fish. I got him one of those Daiwa Spincast setups (no Batman or Spiderman here, we went straight for the Daiwas!) and picked up some squid from the liquor store. After I tied the largest sinker I think the rod could possibly handle, my little girl, who has many fish under her belt, actually taught Broc how to cast. He got the hang of it quickly:

We hung out for a while, it was late in the morning and I was a bit skeptical about getting bit.

And then, OH YEAH, hook-up! Small BSP that Broc was happy to land but not too eager to touch. So I held it for him while he posed for his first "big catch photo":

Then, later on, we partied at the wedding, my wife and I:

And, it's tough being a kid these days. "Hey, go easy on those Shirley Temples!!!":

Had a great weekend, and am ecstatic that I was able to be part of my nephew's first fishing experience! :)
