My 8 year old caught an actual fish today. Not some little bluegill either, it was a solid 2 lb largemouth. The look on his face when he felt it tug the line... man I almost lost i
Dude I'm not crying you're crying. We've been working on this for like 3 months and today he just... did it. Rode all the way down the driveway without me holding on. My wife got i
