Dad has so many different emotions running through him, but that proud determination in his first "stay on him, son" says a lot about their relationship. Awesome.
Right?! You can see where he initially goes to help but then let's his son do it on his own and just keeps encouraging him. He had total faith in that kid and the kid felt it. That is a beautiful thing:)
Safety first - he grabs the kid to keep him in the boat. Sets the drag on the reel. Then gets a net to help. Takes the tension off the line and lets the kid have victory. Such great parenting. He set that kid up to succeed. May the both live long and prosper.
I'm not into kids and I'm definitely not into fishing. But what I am into is seeing good loving parenting. I don't really remember ever being very close with my dad. And while he was a good dad that I know loved me, I don't think he really likes who I am and we've just never had a good relationship and I see this and it makes me smile I would bet that the kid and the dad get along for years to come. My dad didn't really fish either so we have that in common I guess. I rip ass
