What a great scene!! Considering only 4 years old, still handing the rod and fish pretty well. My little boy just turned the same age but wouldn't be as good as yours.

u would be surprised hskim00! Take ur son out for a short squid session afew times and before u know it he will be reeling like a pro... I also got him a cheap rod $10 kmart with the spinning lights and tied a rubber ball on the end and he plays pretend at home and cast like a pro(sometimes...lol)..... he plays on the boat at home all the time and loves to pretend to drive, anchor, cast, fish than even netting a catch(wild imaginations kids)....

Ill find the pic but the first time I took my son on the tub was when he was 2months old up.... since than he comes all the time weather permitting... but yea they learn quick just give ur son a go u be surprised how quick he picks it up!
