Thanks for the all of the nice compliments...I will be sure to pass them along to my son. He loves to fish, that's for sure! And yes, I have more fun watching him than if I were catching them myself.
TScott27 - Yes, he hooked and fought the bass by himself. He was fishing with a RoadRunner under the bobber. The only thing I did was land the fish when he got it to shore and then quickly snap pictures before releasing it. He wasn't very happy about letting it go, but understood why we should. It was big enough to qualify for a Master Angler Award, so I am submitting that and will frame the certificate with his picture.
Tried the pond last weekend, but the hot weather has shut the fish off. Came home with sand hill plums and made jam instead, so that was a nice little bonus!
Here are a couple of pictures from our vacation last summer in Colorado. One of his favorite fish to catch is rainbow trout.
He says it doesn't matter if I don't get to catch as many... because I get to clean them all!
