Had my father visit this week and got a day to do out with him. Keep in mind the last time I got to take him out it was a high of 40 and we had 35 mph straight line winds with gusts to 50. Oh and we were on a 14' jon.

This time it was high of 90 10 mph winds, and i had a PT175. I also had more than a years more experience on my lake.

We absolutely nailed them. We were pulling Bass out all over the lake. It was a bit of role change though from the old days. He had no idea how to weedless rig plastics so after every fish, I had to rebait HIS hook, LOL.

One wierd part though. we got to a point where some very large fish were breaching, I could not get a clear look to determine species but I could see they were huge. Hoping it was some Bass looking for topwater, I threw out a buzzbait. After a couple casts sure enough I see this huge fish following. I was stoked until i realized the fish was WAY to big and long to be a large mouth. As it gets in closer, I realize I got a 3-4 ft gar chasing it. Luckily he did not hit it but he followed it right along side the boat, got a great look at it. They may taste like crap but really gar are an interesting looking fish to say the least.

WTG.

Nothing beats a good day out with pops.

I love it when the offspring pull a reverse on 'take a kid fishing"   it's why we retire.
