Born To Fish

Type: Nontidal
Region: Southern
Location: Gilbert Run Park

My 4.5 year old son caught this 20� 4.25 lbs Rainbow at Gilbert Run Park on Saturday on his little Zebco rod loaded with 4 lbs line. When the fish bit, his rod was heading into the pond, I went to get it but he grabbed it first and refused to let me help him in any way. I have never been so intense after seeing the fish and every time I tried to help him he ran away and told me "no daddy it�s my rod and my fish", after about ten minutes of turning grey he dragged it onto land where I was egger to grab it. My son has always been very lucky, always out fishing me and his mom when we trout fish.
