Fred Hall - My son is hooked

[Jimmyz123]

Went to the Fred Hall Show with my son, and dad, it's our Father, son, grandson trip. For the first time there was no stroller to push around, and my son was excited about ALL of the rods, reels, and baits.

Right as we walked in the door he climbs into a boat and is ready for off

Then we're off to look at other things. We run into James Nelson, Jim Sammons, the guys from Uni-Butter, and I picked up some things all around the show. Bought my son a fishing rod, I picked up 4 bags of plastics from James Nelson's booth for $20 and there are more baits in there than I know what to do with.

The best part of the show was when the fishing ponds opened. Nick was first in line and ready to go. He's still not tall enough for the pond so I had to hold him while he fished. Nick caught his first fish and now he's hooked. His words after catching the fish, "That was wonderful."

First fish

I realize those fish are hungry and are an easy catch, but feeling that fish pull got his heart racing, and the blood boiling. I love it.

The deals are there if you look for them, and the fun is there if you make it that way. Those who are expecting people to throw free stuff at them, well you may be not so happy with the results, but for each person the show will offer its own pleasure.
