First Dad, now Junior - Pictures.

All right, if you recall my Dad put a pretty good beating on me last time we fished... I boated 6 or 7 dinks and Dad nailed two hawgs, plus dinks, with a Dixie spinner. I posted it under old school fishing.

Today my 10 year old was my nemesis and he threw nothing but watermelon redflake 5 inch yum dingers for 3 1/2 hours. Weightless, Texas rigged. He landed a beautiful stringer of fish. They all hit it on the drop and were kind of gently taking it in and swimming with it. Needless to say, my boy got to hit some monster hooksets... He needed this day, he had three or four bad trips in a row and was starting to seem a little disinterested.

I had one good fish on a shakey head jig and then spent my time netting for my boy....

The biggest fish was 19 inches long and 14 in girth.

Moral of the story, to paraphrase the great George Thorougood, I fish alone!

Please ignore my sons crooked hat, he is no gangster! He tends to knock his hat around when he hooks a fish.

PS - All fish caught on a 5 1/2 foot ugly stick with a $12 Daiwa spinning reel. He has nicer gear, but prefers these! (Take Note those who continually post about expensive gear they need)
