Fishin' & eatin' without catchin' is still good. You got him out and he participated and
that counts too. All positives. Good eatin' size. Oh! Not havin' to clean 'em is good too.

Dad and I went back to the pond but sure didn't have the luck we'd had previously. Caught 8 total, 6 keepers but one flipped outta my hand, so came home with 5. Worst part was I skunked dad, I'd have rather it been the other way around (he has a ball catchin' 'em). I told him to come back and get the fish after I cleaned them and him and his wife could have them for supper.
Gills are still nesting in the pond (could see about 20 fish on the nest next to where we were fishing), and weeds are taking-over, so looks like it's time to find a new spot.
Biggest of the day:

I had a hard morning with only 10 keepers in Kentucky. Seems we need some rain and wind to get them going again. It was sunny and calm all morning and the bigger gills moved deep with tight lips !!!
The ones I kept came from water 19ft deep and about 15ft down using slip bobbers and red worms. Of coarse the little bait theifs were hitting great !!!
Thumbs Up U got to go fishing!!WhooHoo!
I PRACTICE CATCH & FRY---DONT EVERYBODY ? Thumbs Up
Sounds like a great day, time spent on the water with your Dad!!

They always are, and I'm always thankful for every day we can.....he told me the fish were good. His (dads) younger sister just passed (at 86) and his older sister (91) has been having health issues, so yeah....I'm thankful.
Cherish every minute....wish I could fishwith my father again. We had some really great days while he was alive
Take a kid fishing start a new friendship with nature.
