how young is to young?

I carreid my 2 sons since they was out of diapers and could move across the ground good . i would put the boys on my shoulders and tote them all over the country side
Dustin my oldest i carried him fishing at a tank and throwed him on my shoulders to wade across the back end of the tank,i would cast the rod out and he reeled the fish in i cast it just before i was going to cross the deepest part and as luck would have it he hung a 7-8 pound bass,, well thats not a big deal til you have 3 foot plus and 40 pound kid on your shoulded with a two handed 7 foot rod and the fish in the moss,, i was trying to bounce /tread water and he was horseing the fish and everytime he pulled my head would go under water long story short i didnt drown he landed his bass and still to this day talks about it ,he is 21

take them out as soon as they can kinda hold thier own

you let a kid build a camp fire he'll get burned
but he wont ever get burned again
