7-3-10 fishing trip

[MississippiBoy]

Dad came over early Saturday, and he and I went out for the first time together in the new-to-me boat. We had a good time, but there wasn't a whole lot of fish catching going on. I got on 14 1/2 incher, then later on a 12 1/2, but that was all the bass action. Dad did somehow manage to land a big bowfin on a jerkbait, though. Unfortunately, all 6 points on the treble hooks tangled in its gills, and trying to ease them out just made it worse. He was floating on his back when we left. I felt bad for killing it, but it was unavoidable.
