A friend of mine is a single parent raising his only child, a son. He is always going to fishing tournaments and does really well. Has many trophies. Doing well in school. And is well mannered. This year he decided to get his son a fishing pole Christmas tree. He just turned 15. I thought how perfect of an idea. I am so proud of him. He works, runs his own business, and raises his son. These days especially, that should be commended. I always tell him how proud I am. And I just ordered his gift card from his favorite fishing and hunting supply company, Bass Pro Shop.

My youngest nephew would love a tree like that he's nuts about fishing.

I know right! Very cool. And it has nice shape to it as well. I always get him a gift but the older he gets, time for the gift cards.

Yes it is. I did it from age two with Dustin. It is not as common for Dad's to step up, unfortunately. Love the tree. Dustin would have as well.

That is so incredibly innovative! Hope he doesn’t have Billy Bass on top of it singing “Take Me to the River,” though.

That is a unique tree and perfect gift idea for a young fisherman! Alot of the kids fish around here and some are quite proficient...I have seen them hauling in fish right and left.
