Hey all!
Here's the deal...
Just a "for fun" tournament with some guys at work and some other friends. A small kitty just to make it "interesting", and an optional big bass pot...
Well, my regular partner couldn't get out of his honey-do for the evening (canceled last minute), so I took my "just turned 10 year-old" as my partner. Bright, blue, no clouds, and cool...hmmmm...didn't look too promising.
But, apparently no one told the fish!!!
On Jake's 5th cast with a rattle-trap he hooked what turned out to be the "big bass" for the tournament...a 4lb 9oz largemouth!!! I worked hard to put 2 more in the livewell, but the two of mine 'barely' equaled the weight of his! We finished just shy of 9lbs and ended up taking 2nd place on weight (the winner had a 5-fish limit)!
The big fish "netted" Jake a payday of $100!!!
The BEST part was weighing in...2 Rangers, 1 Javelin, 1
Skeeter, 1 Triton, 1 Nitro, several PT Trackers, (11 boats total) and the two of us in the TV-18! The Triton owner wanted Jake to fish with him next week! hahaha
As you can imagine, Daddy was beaming pretty bright...
Didn't have the digital camera with, but when I get the Kodak moments back from developing, I'll get 'em scanned in and posted...
Take a kid fishing...
You'll NEVER go wrong!
P.S. he spent the money yesterday...a new rod, a new reel, and new bike helment - prioritized in that order)
