Don't be too hard on him, perhaps he(like Me!), gets "bored" with bass casting! Maybe try some "fast action" on spawning panfish, or some completely different species(Ex-like the big one in my avatar)? One son was excited(albeit 1992!) abt trying for them, the other, older son said a "waste of time"! and didn't go! We landed Eight, kept two. Fished til our arms "cramped up" from fighting them! Son #2 caught this giant, will never forget that day. #1 saddened when he looks up at the wall!
Way to go. I just remember a few years when Girlfriends were more fun. But I got back into fishing because the Ohio River was always good to me. He'll get back into it!!
The stuff him and his friends talk about drives my wife nuts. He still gets out with me and loves bass fishing so I am ok with him bailing on occasion. Wrestling takes up most of his time anyway.
My boy is 12yrs and the other day he said to my after releasing a lg mouth "dad getting a bite is the best feeling in the world" and I remember saying that to myself when i was 11-12yrs old..
Yep..... Said the same thing then 3 years later I got a bite of something else and my perspective totally changed lop
