Young Liam Shows Granddad How It's Done

With a full season of T-ball now under his belt, Jerry's grandson, Liam, is well on his way to being, in Jerry's words, "a better ballplayer than his dad, Chris, or he ever could have hoped to be." Now Liam is turning his attention to fishing. He, Dad and Granddad took a trip to the water yesterday, then emailed me a report of their adventure, along with pictures.

Here we find young Liam trying to decide which soft plastic he thinks will work best for him this trip. As noted by Jerry, this decision is one "those of us who have fished for many years still find ourselves in a quandary over many times."

A-h-h-h... the feeling of sweet success is written all over the face of young Liam as he proudly holds up his first-ever freshwater fish--a nice one at that--for Granddad to snap a picture.

In this photo, we find young Liam showcasing his second fish of the day, with Dad holding him close.






As Grandpa explained, there was no question at day's end who the better fisherman was yesterday. "Liam caught three nice fish, while I got only one," he said. Meanwhile, Dad came away with a lot of smiles, high fives, and some very priceless memories.
