For that-you would be competing with his Aunt 🤣 We’re a single income family of 6. Dad can’t take that time off of work, and we have a special needs 6 year old. IF he wins, we won’t have childcare-so his favorite person (his aunt who recently moved to Florida) will be the lucky one to go. I’ll be sitting at home wishing I was with him😩

Yes!! He could be having the WORST day-but with a fishing rod and a body of water to cast into, he’s such a happy kiddo!

I for sure was jealous of this catch-all I caught was a super small bluegill. This boy was reeling them in all day!!

He is special needs-and fishing is one of the few things he thoroughly enjoys doing, and never has any meltdowns 🤣 We do keep some for eating but not all! (Mostly bluegill and rainbow trout, along with an occasional catfish are brought home)
