A few days ago we bought Caleb his first rod & reel. It was a Mickey Mouse combo and looked deadly. He spent the first couple days practicing off the deck, perfecting his jigging and casting. Then yesterday we put his newfound skills to the test.
He was fishing the buggy bottoms of the East Fork Des Moines River in Kossuth County. We were on a camping trip visiting an old friend and his family. Caleb's first fish was a respectable, yet catch-and-release sized channel catfish. He caught it on a Mickey Mouse combo with a 12" steel leader, two split shot sinkers, and a gob of worm on a barbed hook.
