Hunter, Ryan and I took their friend Joey out for a day at a local kids only lake. Joey's dad recently arrived in Iraq and asked that I try to get him out fishing while he was gone.
We were the first ones to the lake, on a beautiful day. I started out by getting the rods out in the water for the boys, then broke out the 4th "practice" rod with only weight for casting.
Each boy would get would get 10 casts in a row, and within an hour while keeping them entertained, we had our first victim of the day.
After each round, the boys skills were improving. Here is Joey at the end of a cast.
We spent some time eating junkfood, the boys giggled a lot, and got fairly dirty. All in all, it was a pretty spectacular day.
Take a kid, or three, fishing. "Its a good thing!"

Nice job. Looks like a great time. I plan on taking my daughter there to fish when she gets big enough. Sort of a walk down memory lane, as my wife and I got married in the community center there (if it's the same Long's Pond I'm thinking of).
