Henderson and Old Dogs

Yup, experience wins every time. Took my 87 year old father-in-law and was given a quick lesson on how to "Catch 'em". While he was singing "gimme your sweet lips", them early sac au lait just waited in line for him to go down that one bank. While the numbers weren't great today, the score took a distant 2nd place to spending time with a good friend. Moved all over the lake but pretty much caught all of these on the same 50 yard stretch of bank, about 2 1/2 foot deep and gray hair jigs. When the water does start dropping again, the fishing should be tremendous... I just hope next time he let's me catch a few! Good fishing ya'll...BCAttachment 123826Attachment 123827

Great picture! It's not always about the numbers or how big but about the time spent doing it.

It's always about the time spent, in my opinion.:twocents In y'all minds, you were just 2 young guys having a good time together.The rest of the world was on hold temporarily. For that I say way to go!!:biggrin

Way to go. Who cares about filling an ice chest with times like that. Nice pictures, thanks for posting.

that's some quality fish for sure.....congrats and thanks for the report........

Do you know why you can't teach old dogs new tricks. Cuz they know them all. hahahahahahaha
"gene"

ps: a very worthwhile day.

You sure about that 87? Maybe you got the numbers swapped and meant 78 because he doesn't look 87. He looks very healthy. Glad you all had a good time.

Thanks for the report,,, Good Times :fish:fish

Looks like a great time! Thanks for sharing.

Nice pic, thanks for sharing

Nice fish! Great pic! he looks a lot like my dad did at that age, God rest his soul. It's funny how catching fish can make any person feel like they're 10 years old again.

Looks like you two had a great time. Enjoy those moments while you can. Nice size on them sacs and one of those blue gills looks huge! Thanks for the post and pics :)
