He is constantly turning sticks, dental floss, old hangers and whatever he can into fishing polls. He hangs his homemade line off the couch, or my bed and waits for fish. Daddy has promised him a fishing poll, many times but it just hasn't happened. A couple weeks ago, James finally got his WISH!
I honestly didn't think he would like it, and would lose interest very quickly, because it's not a toy, and you can't be rough with it, and he probably wouldn't catch any fish most of the time...
Boy! Was I wrong!
My sweet little boy fished for 6 hours in rain, cold, and horrible wind. I sat huddled in the car for about 2 hours and then asked to be taken home with the other kids. Little James stuck it out.
He caught 3 fish in the end, after trying 3 different fishing spots.
He got two sucker fish and a carp, and he was very very excited! He reeled the fish in himself and could even tell when he had a fish on the line.
I am happy we have found something that he LOVES, and I am more than impressed that he stuck with it. :)

| He informs me, that NEXT time, He will catch one without a "kissy face." He dreams of catching a cat fish. |
