Fans of Joanna Gaines know that her youngest son Crew is always down to be her little helper.

Crew, who just celebrated his sixth birthday, has definitely taken after his parents when it comes to arts, crafts, gardening, and all things home, and his mom's latest video certainly proves it.

In addition to Crew, the Magnolia founder shares five kids with her husband and work partner Chip Gaines, who she married in 2003; their eldest is Drake, 19, who recently finished his first year of college at Baylor University, followed by Ella Rose, 17, Duke, who just celebrated his 16th birthday, and Emmie Kay, 14.

Over the weekend, Joanna took to Instagram and shared a glimpse of what she and little Crew got up to, among their weekend activities net fishing.

In the sweet video, Crew appears ready for action wearing rubber rain boots, and is seen expertly throwing his net full of bait into the water.

"Practice makes perfect," Joanna aptly wrote in her caption, and fans were quick to take to the comments section under the post and express how impressed they were with Crew's fishing skills.
