Proud of my grandson
« on: 04/07/19 18:09 UTC »
Super proud of Elijah. He was able to finish 14th out of 52 competitors today in a local kayak tournament. He caught his fish on a diner shiner swimbait head that he and I poured and painted yesterday. It was a super tough bite but he did okay. Remember folks, he’s only 12. And he beat some pretty darned good anglers, most of which didn’t catch a fish. The Diner Shiner is a real winner!

Way to go Elijah! When a kid can fish like that, he’s had a lot of good instruction. Great time spent in a constructive environment. More than you know.

Way to go Elijah. It sure is fun when you make your own and have something a little different than everyone else is using. That’s what made it possible.

Way to go. Catching fish on your own creations is good but competing with em is great. Congrats

Thanks for all the kind words folks. He really is a pretty good kid. I’ve had him fishing literally since he was 6 months old. And loved every moment of it. Crazy proud of him!

 He's sure a lot better looking than the two older guys in the pic!
