Red Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 Too windy for the little boat today, so went to some private stock tanks. After about and hour and a half of no bites, he finally got a couple, and caught both! He made the cast, set the hook, and reeled em in! Both were caught on a Zoom Trick worm rigged weightless. He was rollin in style too, with my Abu 801 and American Rodsmiths combo. He did great, guess it his brothers turn tomorrow. first fish second fish Thanks for looking!! Cliff Quote
preach4bass Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 That's an awesome first fish! And, that's an awesome dad who takes his kids fishing! Quote
Red Posted March 28, 2010 Author Posted March 28, 2010 Thanks, however I am his uncle, but I might as well be his dad. My wife and I have had permanant custody for almost two years now and they have lived with us for almost three years. Their "real dad" is a total and complete waste of perfectly good oxygen, same with their mother. We are in the process of seeking permanant custody with NO visitation which will hopefully lead to adoption. Thats another thread though, this was a fun trip, he had a blast! And I did as well!! ;D Quote

ArcherJohnny Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 Hey man, that's awesome! I wish my dad would've taken me fishing when I was his age. Lucky kid! Sidenote: I bet for a kid that size, reeling in bass that size probably felt like monsters! I know they sure look it held out in front of him like that! ;D Johnny Quote
