texastrophies Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 On the way home from work Sat. I stopped and bought my son a rod & reel, tackle box and a few lures. He has fished a little bit, but doesn't have a lot of experience, as I don't go fishing very much anymore. On Sunday evening we went out to a stock pond on the ranch and and tried our luck. I got his rod ready first and put a lure on it and told him I would cast it out first to make sure it all worked ok. Well no sooner than the lure hit the water, I had a fish on, it must of landed in his mouth. Of course, as I was trying to reel it in, the drag was set way to low, but eventually made the adjustments needed and got it in. One of, if not the largest bass I have ever caught out of this pond. After taking a couple of pics, we released it, and Jake went to fishing and I got my rod and made a couple of cast before I lost my lure and quit. Then I was able to just watch Jake, offer pointers and take pics. He ended up catch one small bass. Here are a couple of pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
