After a few years of my son doing his own thing with his friends and not fishing much if any I got to take Joe and his friend Ryan and introduce him to drive on surf fishing, We were fishing Sea worms on the bottom and it has been somewhat slow this week, we managed a few small fish and when I saw one rod double over in the sand spike I yelled Joe go get that rod. after a nice screaming drag and a good battle Joe pulled this fish in (of course I was his coach) I was the rod caster and master-baiter of the night

The fish came in at 21 pounds and 39 1/2 inches

Nice fish coach.........

I was the master-baiter of the night

:rotf2:

:btu: :D

NICE bob...way to go....
good for you...and your son

Nice Bob- good quality time with the (not so much anymore) kid

Well done Bob!

Outstanding, Bob...:kewl:

Congrats to your son...and I'll bet the old coach was pretty proud too

Nice Bob. And to have a fish as well is just icing, isn't it? Good to see they can come home again! Does the heart good.

Nice fish there Bob! that's gotta be a good feeling right there

Nice job, Bob. Bait up those rods ;)

Great job Bob.

you could have a least let him hold it for the picture!












kiddin'....good stuff....

Thanks everyone, I will say this; it is better than if I caught the fish

and that fish is still swimming

It's times like this that makes memories that last a life time

nice family moment

Good going Joe.. great kodak moment .. I have a picture in my head of my fishing buddy doing a cartwheel off a cliff .. Hope to meet you someday and tell you about it.. I'll carry that one to the grave .. When my new book comes out, there will be a chapter on it . :)

i used to fish a lot as a kid, when I became a teen and early/mid twenties, I did my own thing and it wasnt fishing... got back into it 4 years ago at age 29... I look back and cant believe how much energy and free time I had that wasnt spent fishing... youth is wasted on the young
