Me and the Ole man!

Even though he hasn't run trot lines in over 20 years, the ole man still remembers how to catch em! We had a great morning and now he said he ready to start running lines again on a regular basis. The bigger one is 14.9 lbs and the other is 5lbs. Sure was good with that fresh squash, homemade fries, and fried green tomatoes!

Not real big but definitely the right size and species for a great fish fry!

I'll take those 4-8 pounders all day! They eat better for sure but not as much fun as the bigger ones.

Good job taking your dad again. Thems some good fish. I was fishing the river yesterday, and the crappie weren't doing much, so I got to thinking each time I pulled into those tops layed out there, I bet theres a big ole flathead down there.:crazy: And youre right about them 4 lbers. Maybe even 2-3 lbers, on the grill.

Thanks! I always enjoy spending time in the outdoors with the ole man. He's taught me everything i know about hunting and fishing and he's still teaching me so its always nice to have his knowledge in the boat with me.

I've never tried em on the grill. Gonna have to give it a try some time. What do you season it with?

We did some scouting after we check our lines sunday and found a few more spots were gonna try next time we get to go.
