The good is my 10yr old and I had a great time out on the boat this evening and he caught 5 bass and 2 crappie on a shad swimbait.

The bad was Im an idiot and lost 2 great fish tonight. The first one I just flat missed with a buzz bait. Then a couple minutes later about 80ydds north of us I see a pig explode on the edge of a weedline in the shallow flats. He came completely out of the water I knew it was a big fish so I headed straight for him. First cast I catch a 3 lber but this isn't the fish I saw very next cast BOOM short struck complete miss I throw right back at him and oh I'm fishing a buzz still and a huge eruption I've got him this time pulls a little drag my little 2 man is spinning circles water swirling over got this pig hooked good get him right to the boat reach in and what? Yes I did something I know better than to do I grab my buzz and began to lift him out of the water by my lure. That's a big no no. Two head shakes right as I'm getting ready to drop him in boat and he's gone!

Think of it as a quick release...  Congrats to your little guy for a great day with Dad!
