When Did You Take Your Child Fishing For The First Time?

Today, my wife and I are celebrating our daughter being 9 months old.

All the stuff people used to tell me about how fast kids grow up is totally true—she crawls like a little monster, is pulling up on any and everything, and is trying to walk. It really does go by way too quickly!

Of course, being a father and a fisherman, I am already planning her first fishing trip. I can’t wait until she’s old enough to get out there with a little rod and reel and catch a few panfish with her daddy!

I need a little help from the MVF Nation though—I want to hear from you about when you first took your child fishing for the first time. How did you know they were ready?

Any help would be appreciated—just leave your advice in the comments.

See ya on the water…
