Okay, so most 9-year-old kids are happy fishing with a red/white bobber and a worm. But not Austin McKean of Terrace, BC (shown here with dad Gill). Nope, “Austie” prefers the spey rod and may be the only kid on the planet his age who owns one.
A couple weeks back, the little dude caught what scores of adult fly anglers are still looking for — his first steelie on the fly. Way to go, eh!

I am Humbled. If we Judge ourselves on the ratio of “Rod” length to Man this guy is a Superhero. Could you Imagine possessing a “Rod” nearly 3 times your height yet alone being successful at using it.
“Your the Man” Austin!

I bet he couldn't sleep for a long time just thinking about that fish. I know that when my daughter cought a big fish all she did was brag about it..
