Thank you Byron, I enjoy your posts too-

He was a bit freaked out when it was out of the water and moving about, held it as far away from himself as possible.
He liked em best in the water, so we let it go and to this day he's not a fisherman at all.
You can tell alot about kids when you expose them to new activities, if he had immediately grabbed it and taken a big bite we would have fished more.
Fishing has never been high on my list either, good mountain lake activity when you can watch them dart up from 20-50 feet down and hit your lure.
Many lakes here at 3500 and up are crystal clear so at the right sun angle you can see rocks logs and fish a long way down.
I did 99% of my fishing with my big brother during backpacking trips in the 70's and 80's. Big brother would clean, cook and eat em. I squeezed down my barb so I could catch and release.
Still very fun and memorable, happy how far digital photography has advanced in 26 years too.
