My 4 year old finally caught his first bass and it was a good one to break the ice with. A little spot that gave him a good little fight. He has caught some fish all by himself before, but they were catfish and brim. He reels all my fish in when he is with me and he has had a few on, but they have jumped off on him. This one could not shake him and he did a perfect job flippin it up in the boat. He has really took to fishing this year and this has turned up the intensity knob even more now I believe.
