Wilhelm Birthday Fishin'

Took the boy to Wilhelm because he told me he wanted to go fishin for his birthday. (he turned 5 on st. paddys)

Did a little wading...


He hammered the gills & had a blast.







all day he kept mentioning the carp...'I'm gonna catch a HOG carp dad!'
I explained that I only brought the panfish stuff & left the heavy rod & carp bait / hair rigs at home...

and then....

just before we left...







What a fight with the 5' ultra lite!
...we never would have landed it, but he ran for the net back at the car while I held the beast at bay...




Happy Birthday buddy!

    That's awesome. Seems like he had a good birthday AND caught the fish he was after.

    Men and fish are alike. They both get into trouble when they open their mouths.

    Pork....That's just what we need, more Dads taking their kids fishing. You made a memory that will last a lifetime for both of you.

    Cool! Nice birthday catch. WTG. Good to see he already knows what a real hog is.

    That's one more Wilhelm carp than I've caught there the last couple years------not for trying.
    I fished Wilhelm a few times this past Feb.(that's more than the past 2 yrs. combined) tryin' for a carp, since Feb. is the only month I haven't landed a carp from Wilhelm. But blanked every time despite being able to use 3 rods now.
    Good to see the carp are getting active. Again, nice catch.

    Thanks all. Was a fun day.
    made my top 3 fishing trips ever, without a doubt.

    And bulldog, if he sees those mini-waders I'm in trouble.
    He'll need a new pair every year at the rate he's going. lol
