The kid and I fished a cloudy, foggy, rainy morning and whereas we only caught 26 bass, our five biggest were about twenty pounds. This bucketmouth was the biggest:

 

 

I caught this fine, fat one, a sliver under 19 inches:

 

 

Another beauty by the boy, close to 19 inches:

 

 

Some more chunks that I caught:

 

 

We caught smallmouth too:

 

 

And I caught a dink:

 

 

The boy caught his first bass on a walking bait, including the big girl at the top, and a crankbait, which caught the second bass. I keep tying on different lures for him to try.

 

What a fun morning. The kid called me last night and asked, "Can we go fishing tomorrow morning, Katie?"

 

Tomorrow, we're fishing a big bass bog. Fingers crossed we hook and land a Gertrude! His dad is going too! I've warned the kid that the bog is much harder to fish, but big bass swim in it. He's excited. Me too.

 

 

Excellent.You know you're creating a monster. He's gonna be addicted just like the rest of us.😃

What another awesome trip! That kid is living the dream! 

Your dinks don’t look anything like the dinks around here. I think I like yours better. 

Amazing!  You've fully created a monster - thank you!

When I took my grandson I also made sure he got to the best spots first.  He's in collage now and has much less time for grandpa.

Awesome   

Very cool! Nice pictures!
