Yep, another kid ruined for life. That smile says it all. You gotta love it.
This is my neighbor's son. He's Juan Arias and is 14 years old. His dad doesn't care for fishing and consequently Juan has never wet a line. This morning I was able to take him with me. His first fish was the 13" crappie and he followed it with the striper in his other hand a few minutes later. Within the next hour or so he added 3 small bass and a bluegill. Once he got the hang of it he did all right.
When we got back, the first thing he asked was when he could go again. Looks like I've ruined another kid.

Nice going bro !! He's, no doubt, "RUINT" now!! :D
Next thing you know - that "bling bling" around his neck will be replaced with one with a "fish" on it ... and the hat & T-shirt will say CRAPPIE.COM ...... !!
Tell Juan we are all proud of him .... and luck2ya both .......cp
He's doomed. Boat payments, hanging out at BPS with unsavory characters, spending his lunch money and every penny he can get his hands on on tackle and gear. Not to mention hanging out to all hours of the night at the lake and coming home with real fishy stories. Man I wish I could do it all over again. Way to go Fishingbuddy! Bet his dad ends up fishing too.

YEP- Fishnbuddy I think you got him hooked, It's good to get a kid that otherwise for some reason or another would'nt be able to do things we fishermen know is one of the best thrills of a life time, And turn him on to it. You never no what you've created.
Your a good man fishnbuddy. lol
