Personally I think the boga's would do more harm than good at that size. My feeling is at that age it's either 1) watch them like a hawk and don't worry about their independance or 2) don't worry about the fish and let them be independant.

You could just tell them that they have to play the fish long enough so it's tired enough for them to remove the hook without them lifting the fish from the water........but at that age I doubt that it'll work! wink grin
