Can you say HOG, that will be tough to top unless he tells you how. He must of had a good time landing that, a story he can tell the rest of his life.

Wow. Thats a Big Fish Jay.. That sure makes a Father Proud. Even if you cant top it. (I know you want to though. hehehe). Good luck Fishing
I do feel he's earned it as he was always cheering me on when I hooked into the big one. Last year he watched pops catch a 8 plus and in 06 he watched me catch a 9. I had a good feeling he was going to have a good year. I though him how to use a bait caster for the first time this year and Bought him some really good equipment. I even loaded his bag with what I get the big ones with. The little stinker was even out casting me and my old equipment. So not only did he get all new rods and reels, I had to purchase some new stuff to keep up! Pops is spending more time figuring out how to use this new fangled gear.
The sad part is I wasn't there to see him haul it in! But to see the look in his eyes while telling his new fish tail was totally priceless! I am ever so proud of my little bass man! These are some of the best times we spend together and watching him catch up(grow) has been amazing! So I still think I'm winning! :cheese:

Very nice fish and great job with the catch and release. I've only caught two up over 7 pounds around here. The memories of that fish will last a lifetime. Cool parents take their kids fishing.
We are guessing some where around 6 LBS. or so. Length was 22" but he didn't measure the girth for an accurate weight.

Thats a very big fish. I've been bassin for 30 years, still cant buy a baitcaster. My biggest largemouth was 4 lbs 2 oz. The fish your boy caught could have almost swallowed mine. Did I miss how he caught it? Surface plug? Crank bait? Worm and bobber? (My 4 pounder was on a worm bobber when I was pan fishin, go figure)
My son is 2 years old. He cant fish yet, but I take him. He holds his rod and swings it around yelling "a fish a fish!" He does help me pick crawlers and he almost has the knack of picking up a bluegill without spiking his hand.
I cant wait until he becomes my fishing buddy

Sadly, too many kids these days just don't have the interest to go out into the great outdoors. Video games, internet, texting, etc. are what is the in thing to do. I grew up with scouting, camping, fishing, and being outdoors a lot in the winter. I will encourage my kids to do the same and teach them to appreciate what is around us.
The other sad part is that there are probably half as many kids out there that want to go outdoors and learn, but their parents don't have the interest to take them. I'm just doing my part, spreading knowledge and skills down to the little ones.

Thanks bud! I am very proud of him. He's getting pretty competitive on our fishing trips. Pops needs to work hard to keep up(and sometimes don't fair to well!). I think its time he start running the boat, So I can sit back and fish for a while.
