Here is my nephew Danny with a nice bass and 15 1/2" crappie he caught today at Nimi. Measured at Eddie's and will get his FO award. This kid fishes almost every day and has really started to impress with his catches. Bass, bowfin, pike, crappie, catfish, carp, you name it. He is officially hooked for life. Even fishing with a cast on his reeling hand. I'm loving it. One less kid staring at a smart phone all day.

He has landed more species than any young fisherman I've ever seen. It's getting hard to name a fish he hasn't caught. Along with snappers and soft shell turtles. This is his second FO award this year and he also caught the biggest trout at a derby a few weeks ago. He's got the magic touch for sure.

Excellent catches! Great to see a youngster take to the sport like he has. I only hope and pray that my youngest son, who will be 4 on the 20th of next month, will enjoy fishing as much as your nephew.

I had a few great mentors growing up who loved the sport and taught me some great lessons about it. My grandfather and my brother who is 11 years older than I am. When I was your nephews age my brother would try and convince me to catch blugill at one of the family farm ponds while he was bass fishing so we had dinner if we camped out. Well I would blugill fish for a short bit and then raid his tackle box for bass gear and start catching!

The little fishing machine Danny won biggest bass at the Portage Lakes derby today! He won a rod and reel, GC, and took home a nice trophy. A big Thank You to Bprice1031 for letting me know about the event. Also a TY to the people that made it possible. It really made his day. This kid is some kind of fisherman. 2 Fish Ohio awards and 2 derby first place wins so far this year. Not bad for an 11 year old. :)
