    The shock on Houston’s face was priceless. I love how you handled that situation, Daniel. You could e gotten mad but instead chose to keep your frustration to yourself. That’s a priceless lesson for a child. We love watching y’all’s family and following your adventures. Thanks for setting a Godly example for us to watch ❤️❤️.

    What an expression! If only every fishing trip could be perfect! We all have fishing stories! I caught a sturgeon one year on the Mississippi River. Fought him for an strong hour got him up to the boat and when we went to net him, his head wouldn’t fit in the net and he was longer than the John boat we were fishing in!! The line snapped and I lost him! Had bruises on my stomach to show where and how I was holding the reel they lasted for weeks and the story has lasted for years! Your a great fisherman Houston!!!

I would've done the same. Houston learned a valuable lesson with no voices raised at all. Love the videos Arms!!

      I had to tell my husband it’s called fishing not catching. Just wanted to tell Houston that I was fly fishing in a boat with my dad and Uncle and I caught my dad in the ear. I felt so terrible but couldn’t stop laughing because it looked so funny with that fly on his ear. You’ll have forever memories.

    Daniel handled it beautifully. Had an uncle who was known for having a short fuse temper and he'd have tossed in the kid who lost the line in after it. There was a reason he made sure all the kids could swim early on. Looked like you had a good morning together, just no lunch. Well done.

    That brought back memories of the time my Daddy to me and my sister fishing at a neighbors pond down the road. We were fishing from the bank though. We had a stringer full of fish and my sister would fuss who got to add the fish to the stringer. My turn I added the fish then had a hard time putting the spike in the ground. So I found some soft mud to stick it in. When it was time to go the stringer was nowhere to be found. Those fish had swam off stringer and all. Of course she reminded me for years. Lol

    I know how you feel Houston, when I was 10 I was pond fishing with my Grandpa for crappie. We had a wire basket full of crappie and about to leave so I untied the basket from the boat. But when I was lifting it into the boat the rope broke and down went the basket of fish. My Grandpa tied on a spoon lure and on the 3rd drop hooked the basket. One in a million catch the good Lord was looking out for us that day.

My husband finally let me go catfishing in his bass boat and we had a basket tied off on the side of the boat and had filled that basket full! So we took off for home and all of a sudden my husband shut it down and I was like what are we doing?? We forgot to pull the basket in and all the fish blew out the bottom of the basket! 😢 I know the feeling well. 😂 There is always next time, heres to tight lines! 🎣👊

  • @craighalle7892
    @craighalle7892 10 месяцев назад

    Hi Daniel and Houston.
    I use a bucket with an aerator to hold my fish. It's a 5 gallon that I fill half to 3/4s full of water. You could also use a wire fish basket over the side of the boat. I switched because I had 10 large bluegills on a stringer tied to a tree branch which broke and they got away. I like the bucket because it keeps the fish well, so they are fresh when I clean them and if I don't catch enough I can release live fish. My bucket has a seat cover as I did, have a few fish try to jump out to escape. Plus, a place to sit.
    All in all you had a nice fishing day, but a couple changes could've made it better. May the Lord keep blessing you and yours. Love you guys.

  • @rhondabryce5650
    @rhondabryce5650 10 месяцев назад +1

    Accidents like that are a part of fishing. Be it your pole going over the side while you help put the stringer back out to pulling in a wire fish basket with live fish still in it. I remember my Dad put the anchor out, with choppy waves, and the bouncing untied it down below! Fishing stories cover everything that could go wrong, that did go wrong!
    It's all a part of fishing, and lessons learned. Houston will never have that happen again.

    I've lost a few stringers of fish and had my kids do it as well. Hopefully they survive because I've found a couple of strangers that didn't and wound up being catfish bait from the point of not being able to swim and the constant battle killing all of them. As for Houston's face it was like see myself in the mirror about the same age.

    I'm gonna go ahead and recommend ya'll use the chain stringers so you can secure it somewhere while it has a bunch of loops to hang the fish on seperate lol. I have 2 boys who make the same exact face Houston made. Broke my heart for him. 💜

    Houston, when I was your age, my grandpa and I went fishing in the boat out on Prineville Reservoir here in Oregon. We fished all day, and had quite the catch on the stringer. He didn't tell me, and I didn't know, to pull the stringer in when he fired up and headed for shore. Guess what.......no fish that evening. Unfortunately he was quite as kind about it as your dad. Best part for you is you had a great day with your daddy!!
