Fathers and Sons fishing in the "cold".

[The Bateman]

My son Ben and I took two father-son teams fishing in the private lakes Saturday. We braved cold temps and breezy conditions (cold for Florida!)but managed to put them on some fish. This is Rick (red jacket) with Rick (me !), and a nice little 2.5 lb bass.


His son Reese with one just over 2 lbs:



My son Ben with a couple just over 3 lbs:




Rick with Another about 3 lbs:



We caught about 35 in the morning.
In the afternoon, we picked up Mike and his son Bennett. Here's Mike helping his son land one of about 15 Bennett caught:




I caught the largest of the day, 4 lbs 8 ozs in the deeper water:



We caught 75 in the afternoon. They really turned on once it started to warm up. Everybody had fun. The most fun for Ben and I was watching 5 yr old Bennett catching bass all by himself! We even convinced him to give his a bass a kiss goodbye, and said how much his mom would love a big kiss when he got home!
