Gotta say I'm proud of the laddie. Weighed in at 5 lbs. was right about 20 3/4" long. Pic doesn't do justice

He caught it on my Lexa/Premier casting combo. He beat my 4.5 pounder!

Way To Go ~ !

 

Congrats - and from a paddle boat no less.

Whooo hooooo... there are two things that make me wana jump up and down, watching a young person geting Baptized and seeing a young person catching a HAWG!

Good job proud papa. Good luck dealing with a swollen head for a few days.

Nice fish, bet he was excited. Congrats to both of you.

Awesome! Congrats young man!

Congrats to him!  Tell him we all said so!

Congrats. Great memories being made. 

WTG. Very nice fish. Congrats to you both.

Show him this thread! Lots of people are happy for him! Nice catch kid! Dad's gonna have to work a little harder to beat you now!

Awesome fish!  Better than my PB.  Can't wait till I catch my first 5 pounder.  WTG!

Man I remember my first 5 pound bass like it was yesterday, always been the benchmark for what I've considered a big bass. Congrats to both of you and hopefully he'll break that mark plenty more times!

Very nice.  I'm happy for you and your son. 

Nice fish and a nice proud moment to be a father! My son is 10 month I can not wait til he gets old enough and hopefully he enjoys fishing as much as I do

And the legacy continues!! Nicely Done!!!

Fantastic!

Awesome!

Thanks everybody. He's stoked. I have three other boys that need to have the experience, too. I will have him read thru this thread, too.

Tell him a fellow young angler said congrats! As others have said, I remember my PB like it was yesterday! It makes you want to fish more to catch more big bass.

Thats awesome!  Congrats.

WOW, what a great day for you both, him for catching his PB and you for being there with him! I'll bet you enjoyed it MORE than he did... "Great Dads Think Alike"

I whooped and hollered and high-fived him. I was probably more stoked than he was.

Congrats to your son, and the proud Papa. The picture does do it justice. That is a GREAT shot. You should do something with that pic. Better than a wallmount it is. Maybe check in with A-Jay on what he did with his Lake Baccarac pics.

Congrats to your son!

Congrats, proud daddy

Good stuff. Little guy did good!
