This past Friday night was great. My wife finally agreed to do some bass fishing with me for the first time. My son has always gone with me and is a smallie killer. Jennifer my wife has always hated fishing because she is not patient enough. So I took her and my son to my dads pond. You can always catch some dinks and possibly a 15incher.

Well my wife was killing them. Landing a nice 18inch LM and a 16 inch LM. All on my ultralight setup which held up thankfully for Segaur Invizx 4lb line lol. She hoarsed them all in and I thought she was going to snap my rod or the line because of the thick cover. My son also had a nice run with some smaller fish. Me? Talk about a crap night lol. While they were pulling in fish all night I ended up with two dinks of probably 8 inches of size or less ha ha. Needless to say I was getting harrassed by my wife and son all night lol. I was fishing a 5" Trick stick in black blue flake wacky rigged. The crazy thing is the fish didn't want a big helping tonight. My wife and my son were fishing a 3" Watermeleon Gold Flake trick stick wacky rigged. I was shocked at my wifes fish on that small bait. The cool thing was she was using the ultalight setup like I said so the fight was amazing and the smile on her face was worth the night. My son also had a bass at least 20" up on shore that got off the hook and flopped back into the water. He was MAD. Dylan has me take a picture of every fish that he catchs and that was his biggest of the year by far. Anyway....thanks to Brent at Alluringbait.com for giving my wife a nice fishing outing. She had a blast and hopefully will go again. A big reason why I love doing business with Brent. Good man..great prices...nice baits....and all of our big fish this year have come on his products. Thanks Brent! Now maybe my wife will stop hating on the bait monkey when tackle comes in the mail.  ;D

That looked like one great day. Those were some nice looking fish and I bet a lot of memories to go along. I am looking forward to when my kids get old enough to go fishing for more than just 20 minutes.

Good stuff!

Great family and fish Davis!

Thank you. I was just blessed to have a night where the fish were very aggressive.

We just found out that where my wife and son were casting.......that there were a ton of cynder blocks dumped down in the pond about 12 feet deep. They were casting right on them. Now my wife can finally see why I enjoy fishing so much. I was a proud husband and father.

Very nice!

For this small pond they are some beauts.

My dad was thinking about throwing in some chemicals to kill the weeds and cattails. I told him he was crazy and that he has a nice little bass habitat going on.

My wife hates holding the fish though ha ha. As you can tell in the second picture she was having a hard time with that one. He was still kicking his back end a bit and his teeth were scrapping up my wifes thumb pretty good.

nice fish!! Looks like a  great time.

That's cool that your wife enjoys fishing, my wife has no interest in it, and my kids are still too young too. Looks like a nice day out with the family, and nice fish too!

Well to be fair lol my wife didn't want anything to do with fishing until this past Friday. She still doesn't know how I go out so much and why I need so much tackle. But at least she knows the feeling of getting a nice size bass on the line.

well...congrats...

maybe now you can talk her into a few more family outings.

My wife is my tourney partner and I love it. I would go as far as to say that fishing together is a major strength in our relationship...

...except when she outfishes me...and then I just hate her! ;D ;D ;D
