I am from Ky so there arent a lot of well known/good places to fish. I didnt get into fishing till i was pregnant then wouldnt bait my hook or take fish off until my son was born...anyway we used to fish all the time. We found this place that was a catch and release lake(pretty much stopped fishing after it closed down),but would take my son fishing all the time bc it was the best catfish and bass fishing EVER!!....once in a pond out in the country he caught like 52 bluegill...now he waqs only 3 and was bank fishing,but it was like "dang boy i cant even get my hook baited.

We had a public place "The Game Farm" we would go to a lot when he was between 3-10. There was the "big" lake for grown ups and the "lower" lake for the 12 and under. I took him there near closing one day(he was 8 i think)--he casts his line in and before we could settle down his pole starts to take off...i grab it,hand it to him,and he is reeling and reeling..giving the fish some line(just like a pro finally he gets it up into the rocks where its kinda outta the water but still can get a little......i swear that damn catfish was 15 lbs easy..Now i dont EVER mess with taking catfish off a line so im off to find a park person(they were making their round to get everyone out by dark) and as we walk back towards my son he is standing there,foot on fish,smiling form ear to ear. The game warden was so impressed he took a pic of my kid with the fish,unhooked it and tossed it back in the lake.

That was a good day!
