The kid always gets a nice one evry time we go out! Today we hit our local lake and the water was very high. The word on the lake was noone was catchin' nothin'! 20 minutes in my son catches a nice 18" largemouth on a watermelon, wacky rigged senko.

I, on the other hand, caught nothing...  unless you count burying a treble hook into my finger! It took 20 minutes of yanking, pushing and cutting to get it out...  quite unpleasant  :'(

;D ;D ;

Dont you just love when that happens. Out fished my family today too. Only thing that was caught was some little panfish and a 14" Largemouth bass (my dad) and my bro and uncle caught only panfish. I caught some panfish and so did my dad.

I on the other hand, reeled in a 32 1/2" Northern Pike.

Congrats to your son, nice bass.

sorry about the hook incident.  but seeing that smile in that pic has to ease your pain.  that's priceless man.  i know you are proud.  good luck on your next trip.

that is a great picture!

grin ear to ear!  

is that his biggest bass?

Thanks for your comments everyone! That wasn't his biggest bass - 2nd biggest. His biggest was 19.5" long.

The hook incident was pretty brutal  ;D ...   I didn't let it ruin my day though. Best of all, it freaked the kid out a little     I think he has a new respect for fish hooks now which is a very good thing!

That's awesome. Nice fish and great picture.

He's hanging on to that fish like a reel pro.  Great job.

Congrats to your son!!! Maybe one day he will be winning him some money from what dear ole Dad taught him!!!

WTG!!!

Is he available to give me some lessons? ;D

Looks like you guys had fun and he got a valuable lesson from his dad just how dangerous those hooks can be.
