Yesterday, for his birthday I gave him a spinning rod and reel and I put him in front of the Native. Stu and his friend Norris were in kayaks, and Sledford came along and supplied an extra boat for the group.
Zam!
Garrett hooked up to this redfish
He then caught a few trout after that. Here he is fighting a trout:
I moved him over to a deep hole in the middle of a grassflat and he made a cast into there and the rod doubled over and the fish jumped. Snook! He started yelling and got really excited. I talked him through the battle and he was able to keep the snook on the line.
Unforunately Uncle Neil splashed the camera lens before the photo
We moved up the flat to another redfish area and he connected with his new rod and reel AGAIN. I did an action shot of the red hooked up. Caught the swirl in the water with this one
To end the day off , we hit another spot that is notorious for flounder. This one was 23 inches, one of four that we caught off that hole
It was a fun day. As usual we had to drag him off the water! Sam hit a school of large trout but otherwise Garrett caught all the significant fish of the day.
Happy birthday Gman! That's his rod and reel off to his right in the last picture.
There is no doubt, I'm looking forward to a new camera in early 2008.
Thats a Monster flattie 
This from the same kid on Father's Day who admired CB's new GPS and said-
What a birthday for Garrett... a new rod reel , a slam, a bonus flounder that looks as big as him and a trip with Uncle Neil..Does it get any better than that ?...Not 8)
