Took the boys out

I know its not crappie but had to share this with you guys. I took my two boys out last night on beauitful Bever Lake . Not much action but on the way back to the ramp we decided to fish along the bank and, WHAMM! My 6 year old hooked into a big bass. He was excited. He muscled it all the way in. All I had to do was lip it and take the lure out of its mouth. At this time I think I'm more excited than he was. There's nothing better that having on of your kids catch a fish like this. The bass wieghed 5 lbs even on the digital scales. I was so proud of the little guy.

It's Almost As Big As Your Boy! That's A Great Pic!

Nice fish. It will be a lifetime before he forgets about last night. And, I wonder who was more proud, you or the little man?

way to go dad,he want ever forget that.

Great catch and thanks for sharing the story along with the picture. :cool: That young man will remember the fish for many years .:D

He sure was proud, you can definitly tell by his face in the second pic. There happened to be some AG&F guys at the ramp and he was showing it off right away. I know I won't forget last night hopefully he won't.

Keep taking him fishing!!
My cousin and I are over 50 now. When we were just about this lad's age I caught one like that. We named him Claude. We named one he caught Jim. We don't see each other now too much. But, when we do, we still talk about the day we caught Claude and Jim. I don't remember where these names come from. I remember my grandfather asked us what we wanted to do with Claude and Jim. We looked at each other and turned them loose.

Thanks for sharing your story and stirring some memories.

that boy is better then I am. congrats on the catch
