Mark K Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 So my son, a freshman in HS actually brings his rod and gear to school once a week. They have a club and then a Tournament team. So far with the club they have an outing once a week. Not sure if my kid is interested in the tournament thing. we'll see. They didn't have stuff when I was in HS :-( Been pond hopping a lot. As, I was telling Eric s. the other day. I keep seeing these uber serious kids bass fishing. Most of them carry two rods, a backpack...and the absolutely, positively must have... Go-pro to put it on You Tube, I guess. Personally I think it kind of cool.

Steve S. Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 That is pretty cool. I actually saw kids playing outside for hours the other day, which was kind of refreshing too, even though they were screaming too much, ha-ha.

Scott Ferguson Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Personally, I am sad to see bass fishing turned into a competitive sport, especially in kids. I see kids on other forums who are all looking for tournament sponsors to pay their way when they are only 14. I suppose that might be better than having them not take their noses out of their phones. Tournament fishing has brought a lot of innovation in tackle, but beyond that, I don't see much else that has a positive influence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 Sounds like fun Mark! Has to be neat taking your fishing stuff to school. What a great opportunity for him. Congrats to Max and good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bart Durham Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 Was pleased to see a teenager fishing under a bridge on the east branch of Dupage yesterday with a go pro attached to his chest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
