Finally got to get away from the hustle and bustle and get my boat wet! Took cooper and a very good friend of his on their first cranking trip! We filled the boat with shorts but only made it home with 4 keepers! The day was gorgeous minus the 13-17mph Gail force winds. I will say we all got our sea wings but at least the poles were bending! We all had a blast! Can't wait to do it again! Cooper told me cranking was his favorite....that makes me happy because it is mine too!

Great job taking the kiddos fishing. These are the memories that will make a lasting impression on them. Thanks for sharing.

The smile on the little mans face tells all!!!!

Sounds like a good trip for a young un . Always glad to see them getting into fishing . :biggrin

Awesome trip Slade!

Only REAL MEN swim in there underwear! Great job guys!

Hahahahahahahahahahaahaha. Maybe I will be a real man on my next trip! If yaw see me out there.....don't call the game wardens, It aint illegal to fish all natural!

Nice pics! LowePro you going to cross the state line and bring the little guy to Crankfest at Enid the end of the month???

That's our future..They grow up way too quick...Take them fishing, and you won't have to look for them..Good job..

I would love to! I have been trying to make it to one every single year for the last 3 years but something has always come up! What day is it on this year I had not seen any post about it? It is usually the last week in july and may be the same again this year. We are headed to gulf shores on July 21st for a week. I did not make those plans for that date....my boss did (wife) lol. I have to follow the wifeys plans first but when I get back if it is still going on I will assure you I will try my best to be there!!!!

Slade it's the weekend of July 29. Me and Billy E went to I think the first one. Great folks and I can't say enough about the food! There's a sticky on the MS board FYI

AWESOME!!!!! I will try my hardest to be there! And it may be possible that I could make this one!

You got that right! I've been known to take a quick skinny dip or in my case "fat dip" on those 90+ days when no one's around. I'm just glad crappie aren't fond of red wigglers :). Now, if I was in shallow water bream fishing I don't think I would chance it. GTT

Great post and pics!! Those shorts can keep ya busy!!

Congrats Coop and awesome job for taking him. :highfive

Good work budro. Always best to teach em young. Life long memories for you both.
