Junior Biologist Limblines Lake Conway

Attachment 169916Attachment 169917Attachment 169918Attachment 169919Last night Matt and I took my 4 year old monster (flathead catfish) hunting on Lake Conway. While in the boat, he educated Matt and I on everything that he knew about the great outdoors. We saw Great Blue Herons, Great Egrets, cormorants, and an Osprey. He did a great job as bait man. We ran the lines at about 11:30. As we were boating out to the lives we jumped a large owl from a tree. We didn't catch any flat head the first time we ran the lines but we did catch 2 channel cats. And as his usual custom, he had to feel there eyes. He loves that for some reason. We also saw about a dozen shooting stars. He was so amped up that he didn't go to bed until about 2:00am. We were supposed to get up at 6:30 to run the lines again, but I couldn't get him up. So Matt had to run the lines him self. This round Matt caught a 9 and a 10 pounder by himself. They were both 32" long. Matt gave them to another angler. So he rid the lake of two more crappie eating machines. All I have to say is that it was a great night that I will remember forever and I am one proud Dad. On a side note, all Limblines were properly labeled and were removed when done fishing.

Here is Matt's catch.

Awesome guys. Way to go.

That is awesome Matt. You son will thank you when he grows up knowing you spent quality time teaching him the love for the outdoors. I love this post. Great job.

The eyes, huh? Well, ok! I like the cheek meat myself!! :)

Great job, GREAT pics, and means a lot to an old guy who never gets to see his grandkids, to see such pics. Thank you Matt.

You Guys sure your scales are working right...Those look bigger than 9-10 lbers. Nice job...Now how can be mad at you limb liners after a post like that. Great Job.

Yeah. I don't know if he actually put them on a scale. He did measure them. 32" seems bigger than 10 pounds to me too. It also looks like he has the long arms going. Matt is a limb liner and trot liner. He does it the right way. The problem we have are the people who do not label their gear and leave it out all year. This post is about bringing my son out on his first ever cat fishing trip. We made a memory that will never be forgotten and that's all that matters to me. I can't wait until he is ready to man a 10' rear seat ozark rod. I'm thinking next year when I get my own boat. I can't wait!

Great post Matt!! The young fella will appreciate this!!!!

Flatheads are great fish and that would really get you and him excited when ya get a bigun on the line.

Very nice. Thanks for the story and pics. I bet some fisherman was tickled to get those flat heads.

Thanks for the post,way to go with the little guy.

love those flatheads, and fun time in the great outdoors!

Great post and great job. Lifetime memories for sure. Thanks for sharing.

Good job, Matt! You are doing it right, my friend. :ThumbsUp Thanks for the post and the pics.

Good pics.....WTG!

This Matt would be whooping another Matt for letting Matt give away such tasty animals!! haha good job with taking the little monster along! just make sure he understands why we don't need a 10in min length limit on a lake as good as Conway! :Rofl

Way to go! He looks like he is ready for anything!

This is the kind of post that makes this board a great place to post or visit. I am all about the kids.

Great job matt , sharing the outdoors with your children and family is priceless! Love those old flatheads !
