I believe you and he will remember it forever - he looks very proud. Next step, teach him to remove the hook and to handle the fish and then release gently back to the water. Then teach him to bait the hook and try again. You guys are well on your way, great job dad and son  🙂

Glad Cindy captured the moment for you.
I still have the photo of my older son's first fish. He's standing on the banks of the Brandywine at KOA in his little dinosaur pjs proudly holding up the sunny he had caught, with my husband beside him.
Great memories. Enjoy these special moments.

Mariska Hargitay, my son, and I went boating after work.  It was perfect, she was able to take our picture with the fish before we released it.  Then my wife met us on shore with a picnic dinner.  It was an awesome evening  :thumbup:

As far as cleaning goes trout is one of the easiest fish to clean. 

Find the poo hole run your knife about a 1/4 inch in then run it up the gut to the throat. Grab lower jaw and pull down. Lower jaw and all guts should come out then with run under water and run your thumb along the spine to get the blood off the spine.  Rinse throughly and you dip in corn meal flower mix and fry in oil.  You could also put a peice of garlic in them a little oil on the outside so they dont stick to foil and grill them.  One guy I know waps them tight in foil and sticks them in his dishwasher and steams them that why.  Just be careful when you eat them for the little bones,  oh skin should just fall off or flake away with a fork.
Yes this way leaves the tail and head on if you dont like it cut them off.
