What age to teach a boy to kill a fish?

[Tarpon4me]

As you can see, there are mixed thoughts about the subject. With that said, there is no "magic" age to teach your children about things of this nature. The best answer is to teach them when "they" are ready to learn it. You're going to have to make that call on your own. I know i've got an 11 year old and a 1 year old, and I know where you're at. But I don't hold back any punches. My oldest knows when I go fishing, I keep some of the fish. And he looks foward to helping Dad clean the fish. He's a typical boy. And when my youngest is old enough to hold a fishing rod, he'll be on the water. Cleaning fish is all part of the process, it's one of the tasks that's involved in the sport. The way I see it, the younger they are exposed to the sport, the more natural it will come to them. Besides, it's in thier genes. [cool]
