Day Out With My Nephew

[clayton86]

Got out today with my nephew to our honey hole proved to be a pretty good day. He's leaving for the marines next Friday same time I go back to Kuwait so we had a little fish off just pure numbers of any species regardless of size. He started off strong with a nose hooked Gulp minnow catching some BIG bluegill. He got a 3 fish lead on me then I got a 1lber on a Jika Rig white fluke once we got to deeper water. After that I went on a roll getting one off almost every pitch of the jig to pieces of cover. They were holding tight to wood grabbing the jig on the first hop. I scored with the jig mostly besides the 1 on the Jika and lost 1 about 4lbs on a Jackall iShad jig and white fluke nose hooked I wanted to cry after loosing it, it had me tangled in the brush for a good minute or 2 I was using my old POS spinning set up with old crappy 6# mono on it. I finally dug it out it ran for open water then made a jump and threw the lure at my face as if to give me the finger. All the others for me came on one of Siebert's jig with a Rage craw in watermelon red flk usually i throw bama craw but im all out. Ryan put his gulp down sick of catching bluegill and fingerling bass and tied on his new RC2 crank and started picking up some decent 1-2lbers on the crank while I moped up with the jig. we ended up tieing in numbers but I blew him out of the water in size and weight my biggest was a solid 4 his was 2 most mine were in the 2-3 range.

I woulda had more pics but I stopped after having a close call watching my phone slip out of my hands and hit the edge of the canoe and luckily bounced into the canoe rather then out. It looked like there should have been good frogging but I only had 1 blow up and Ryan fired a wacky rig in after I missed and caught it it was maybe a 1lb

Nice fish man I droped my old iPhone 4s in the wAter few weeks ago but I was shore fishing so I just reached in and got it. Good thing u got a lucky bounce. And judging by the water in your last pic your phone would have been gone.
