Saturday Report

[Captmikestarrett]

Father and three sons learned to cast, retrieve and catch a few fish.. Nothing big but these are the first LGMouth they have ever caught.



I managed not to get hooked by dodging, ducking and a wire brim hat..
Good kids and now they have a fishing habit..

It's alway cool to see first time bass fisherman not come away empty handed and I could just picture you dodging lures left and right .

[Captmikestarrett]

I was scary and I had to be the traffic cop. "Now every body cast on the left side...turn around your other left side"

My hat is wire brim and my glasses are kelvar.. my coat of armor is made by Orvis.

I can not beleave I let them throw trebles...

At the end of the day ya didn't get hooked and gave them a solid first experiance and got a little exersise out of it .

CaptMike, just out of curiousity, did you ever get hooked during one of your guided trips?

[Captmikestarrett]

Yes jump fishing in Washington Channel. Got a 1/2 once rattletrap embedded in the back of my neck. Both sets of hooks deep. Cut the o-rings and numbed the area with a topical. Taped down and finished the day with clients. Went to hospital that evening to get them out.

To this very day I am rattletrap shy and flinch from the sound.

When this first pops up. I thought that was Steve Chiconas in that picture.

"To this very day I am rattletrap shy and flinch from the sound."

Yeah, I think that experience would make me flinch also. Trebles are scary. I once embedded a Rico topwater in my leg (a snag came out and the lure launched back at me, landed in my leg)
