Best rockfish yet

[Nimrod]

Jack (3 1/2 yrs) did some fishing at the dock last Sunday while I worked on the boat. He went through a bag of bloodworms and ended up with about 30 perch and one nice little striper which was his best to date.

Jack practices 'catch - keep in a bucket - then release' so none of the fish ended up in the frying pan.....this time!

awesome way to go jack

Very cool. Way to go, Jack!

When I was a kid I used to fish using a mosquito net on the beach and practice 'catch - keep in a bucket - then release'

The problem is brought the bucket with me to the apartment a few times and part of the fish ended up dying before the release days later
(I changed the water every day)

Way to go Jack. I love to see the little ones catching fish.

that was a pretty good size striper for off the dock

Yeah not bad. I hear they have been catching rockfish over 20" at the fuel dock under the lights a few docks down.

Usually at the dock Jack gets a mixture of perch, spot, and small stripers like this little guy below from a few weeks back.......

Awesome! Hopefully in a year or so he'll be off the dock and catching some more fish! I'd love to see some more pics soon.
