Pics of your kids fishing please!!

As a spin off of a previous post entitled “Getting Kids In The Game” I thought it might be fun if we all took the time to put one pic of our kids, Grandkids, Friends Kids, Neighbors Kids……. enjoying fishing. Doesn’t need to be a monster fish pic, and for that matter doesn’t even need to be with a fish. Just in the boat with dad or mom having fun. Lets create a “In Depth Movement” to get those kids off the couch,and ON THE WATER!! Remember most little “Chilins” want a litte learning, and a LOT of fun!! Here’s a couple of my all time favorite pics of my daughter!!

Great Ides Chris. I will dig some up and add them to the post.

I’m all for it. Although school has occupied his time lately. LOL Here are three I like. Lake Michigan Salmon, Kids Ice Contest, and Trolling on Pepin.

I love this thread. Great idea Chris. I’ll have to get one when I get home tonight. My son Loves to go ie fishing in the driveway every night when we get home. Mom blames me for stating it. I told her he just knows a good time

Great post Chris!!!! These pictures mean alot more than than the ones of the ten pounders some uf us hold!! I have two girls that I love to fish with. The little one is starting early….so my wife thinks.

Hey Laura…….If your following this thread I’m going to attempt to organize a Take the Kids fishing event here on Rainy Lake. Probably next February due to my scheduling conflicts. I’d like to involve our sponsors, and local guides to help with the event. Would you like to help promote through the One Stop?? I think it would be fun!!

Here are Lindsay and Ellie out with me on the St. Croix!!

These are a couple of my two. One is screaming for more bait and the other had a great time even with a broken leg. His reaction to catching the fish is priceless.

Gavin learning how to use a flasher or should I say an outdoor video game.

Here is some pics. of the Bennett clan. Kid pics are always great.

We could not be more excited to help with an event like this!!! I read an artical online yesterday about how take a kid fishing Clinics are being offered Saturday, Feb. 13, at Lake Bronson near Hallock, Lake Carlos near Alexandria and Bear Head Lake near Ely. Lake Bemidji State Park offers a Berrrmidji Kids’ Ice Fishing event on Sunday, Feb. 14. Kids ages 8-15 can join the Lake Bemidji State Park naturalist for an afternoon of perch fishing on Lake Bemidji. Hayes Lake State Park near Warroad offers its Ice Fishing Clinic on Saturday, Feb. 27.
I think Rainy Lake needs something like this and can not be more excited to get involed myself and for Rainy Lake One Stop.

My son Chris and I fish Canada every year. This 2009 photo was taken on Lake Nipigon. Its been a lot of fun fishing with Chris and his sisters. The girls are older now and they still enjoy fishing.

Who could turn down a chance to show off there kids fishing?

The first is a pic of my boy just a few weeks ago with a nice sunny he caught, he set the hook and reeled it in all on his own. Hes 3 now. The next one is him a couple springs ago driving the boat. Third is my daughter with her secret minnow that she ended up with a nice perch on! Then the last is me and my daughter with a little pike she got on a spoon! It was one of those ones that comes out of nowhere hitting the spoon from under the boat just as your picking it out of the water. She was just a screaming and it was a fish Ill never forget!

Here are a few of our kids.

Great Thread Chris. There are some great pictures here.

The first pic is my neices and nephew, next is my neice, me my neices and my womans daughter, and the final 3 are the womans daughter. ( I dont have kids of my own but I love to take ’em fishing )

Great idea Chris, it made me go back through my saved pics.
Incredible how fast my boys are growing up.

Here is my young fishing partner. Rainy Lake and Miltona

Heres a few of my clan. Chris i really like your idea on take a kid fishing day. That is something that would generate alot of participation in my mind. My kids always say “Rember when we caught……..” . It is something that will always stay with them. It did Me.

Great Post Chris! It’s so great to see all those smiles!

Here are some pictures from last year I thought I’d share with you guys. My son is 4 years old, will be 5 this fall. Jason B’s daughter is with my boy holdin the bluegill.

i cant think of a better place on the planet to raise a 14 yr old!!! he gets off school, jumps on the wheeler and goes to the fish house till dark…and in the summer he jumps in his 14 footer with a 9.9 and fishes almost every day on rainy lake…and in the fall we grouse hunt and deer hunt till the ice is on…i told him that someday he might realize how good he has it…

I agree Phil!! The lake in our backyard is a priceless playground for our kids. I’m still like a kid exploring the endless lakes and woods. I have trouble sleeping when in the midst of a good bite, or the evening before a hunting trip. I often find myself referring to a certain bite or experience being my “Favorite”. LOL!! I guess I’ve come to realize it is difficult to pin anything as my favorite, yet I’m thrilled to be in the heart of the outdoors all 4 seasons!! Beyond introducing visitors to the biggest and baddest fish we have to offer I feel my love for the outdoors is easily transferred person to person, and there is no substitute for that. Fishing is fun PERIOD!!

Time well spent!
