Newest Little Fishing Buddy

Meet my new grandson and future fishing buddy.

Born December 11.  Son and daughter-in-law reached way back in their English heritage for a name and came up with:  Digby!  I've been thinking about nicknames for the past week.  Favorite so far:  "Puff Diggy."  Other suggestions?

Dig is ADORABLE.  Congrats!!! 

Congrats on the new fishing partner and great name! you dont need nicknames with a name like that

Congratulations <ahem> Grandpa </ahem>.
Man you age well 
What no pic with a rod in his hand yet? Wadda ya waitin for?

Seriously though...congrats happy holidays and a great New Year.
Fantastic. See you on the water.

Hot Diggity!  Congradulations Randy

What a wonderful holiday gift!!!!

Congratulations.  I always recommend watching the little tykes grow up and nickname them as is appropriate.  I've seen too many nicknames not fit with personality if they are given too soon.

Time to start the spoiling!!!

Congrats grandpa! That is awesome, be careful they grow up way to fast, mine just started walking this week...

Congrats May he learn to slay fish like grampaw

Congratulations!  Annother fisherman is born 

Congrats ! 

My son's gone through about 3 nicknames so far, and he's not yet 4 months old. Eventually one will keep

Scott

Thanks for the congrats guys.

Marmot, the only reason there's no rod in his hand is he's in New York.  I'll be able to start  some bonding in a few weeks.

In fact, I was planning his first custom rod last weekend when Pat reminded me not to make it too fancy so I won't  be so disappointed when he throws it down to go study a bug.

Randy,

I was thinking of something along the lines of a real simple, yet nice, spincast setup for James. Call it a deluxe "Snoopy" rod. Something that even a child that can barely tie his shoes could possibly use. Food for thought?

Regards,
Scott

not to make it too fancy so I won't  be so disappointed when he throws it down to go study a bug.   

Randy, studying the bug only means he's trying to "match the hatch"  He may just be a future fly-fisherman 

Scott -  Thanks for the spincaster idea.  Perfect for a young 'un.  And it'll be my first chance to build a spincast rod.  I'll have to start looking around for a brightly colored spincaster to match the rod to.

Mooch - Good thought!  Bug viewing as a learning tool to enhance later fishing experiences.  Can't wait to take him squid viewing
