Lessons learned - Ethan 9yrs old

Short clip but fun day out at sws last sat.  Things Ethan learned:

-cabezon legal size (we released it, barely 15"")
-releasing smaller fish for it to grow
-you do not throw the net at dad in the water and hit him in the face
-you dont free spool when stuck on a rock (no rock but hooked 2 rockfish)
-you dont pull up on the rod when dad is trying to bait the line (hooked my gloves)
-when dad says paddle, that means paddle to dad not the damn shore (had to swim back with no fins)

None the less, we has a awesome bonding time in the water doing what we love.

nice! great job, what a bonding experience 

   To be honest,,, I paid him 10 bucks throw the net.     

Priceless! 

WTG Dad and Ethan!

I thought of doing the combo dive fishing too with my 10 year old but thought it might be too much.

Looks like you picked a great day to be OTW/ITW 

I love your videos man! Great stuff, and you are an awesome dad!

Thanks for all the comments.  If you have a opportunity to take out your kids, sws is pretty good most of the time.  We been out in almost every condition, but we are pretty well prepared for full immersion. (GPS/Radio, whistle, life jackets, and friends nearby) Safety is always priority, then FUN!!!  It is always extra work for me to do both and by the time I get home I am totally exhausted.

Way cool. Can't wait to be able to take my little guy out.

awesome ..time well spent 

Wish I have a son 

Great job, Dad, Diver and Deckhand.  You're the complete package!

It's a sign she wants a baby dude. 

Ah yes, the learning curve with the youngster.
FWIW, it's perpetual.

What a great learning experience! Looking forward to doing that with my daughter!
