Head Guru Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 Since this is the open discussion forums... I am a very proud dad today. My son (billy) finally caught the big one he has been hunting all summer. Fished weighed in a 5.10 pounds and measured 21 inches in length. That's a nice bass for these northen states. He is very proud. Here is a photo. http://www.tchstatus.com/bk/billy_5.10lbr.jpg Fish was so heavy for him he had to use both arms to hold it up for the photo. Bill Quote

Mitch Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 Awesome fish! Congrats to the "little" Head Guru! Quote
Madmanmcp Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 Thanks for sharing. I remember my first fish, what a day that was. Out on the dock at my Grandma's new house on the South river, a stone's throw away from the Chesapeake. We fished most of the afternoon and I finally landed this huge fish. It was big and brown with a huge mouth with teeth and the ugliest thing I ever saw. We took movie pictures (super 8) of our trophy, me the proud fisherman, and planned on cooking our first meal. The neighbor decided to come down and greet the new folks on the block and see what all the commotion was about. I proudly displayed my fish and the man laughed and said he hoped we had other things to eat for dinner. The fish I caught was a Toadfish and was not eatable and some were even poisonous, it was so bad even the crabs would not eat it. I have since caught many fish but will always remember that first "bigone". Hope your son catches many more. Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 Nice fish! Great job Billy! Did he throw it back? Quote
curtis Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 Congrats to Billy and to the proud dad. Quote

That's a keeper! I'ts been a long time since I spent my spare time fishing for "the big one" ... but I sure remember how it felt. Really GREAT!!! Makes for some super story-telling after doesn't it? Tight lines kiddo! Quote
woodygap Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 Nice catch Billy! It certainly does bring back memories. I can remember my Dad taking me out on the Clackamas river many, many times before I finally caught that first elusive winter steelhead. Good memories for sure. Thanks for sharing! Quote
stevevan Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 Nice fish! Brings back memories of fishing with Grandpa in the U.P. of Michigan! Quote
TCH-Andy Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 Excellent catch Billy I bet that one fought a little to Quote
cajunman4life Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 Good Job! That's a beautiful catch. I haven't been fishing in about 3 years, I need to go back. Quote
TCH-Vivek Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 Congrats Billy.... that's a nice catch. And folks, there's no wonder in this achievement.. he was trained by his great dad. Bill, you can be proud of him. Certainly, it brings back memories... But, I was never a good fisher.. Quote
Deverill Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 Wow, what a great catch!!! Way to go Billy!!! I'll bet you're a very proud Dad too, Bill. It's so great that you can spend time together while he's young. Quote
