Big Day for little RIJimmy
 

My little guy, 4 yrs old, got his first bass Sunday. I spent the morning fishing and picked up my Mom, wife and kids to go for a cruise on the bay and have lunch. We stopped on an island and my son and I practiced casting with a storm shad. My daughter, who is usually interested in fishing was too busy collecting shells. Second cast, he caught a schoolie. A few times he wanted to hand me the rod because it was pulling too hard. My wife took ( a really lame) pic, I didnt think we were that far away. He had bass thumb this morning!

On the way back in, came upon a HUGE pod of bunker, all schooled tight. The water was glass and you could see them swim under the boat. I had the kids snag a few with me and one had a fish follow it in. I threw out a Big Fish pencil popper and thought I hooked a nice bass, fought like hell, turned out to be a big blue. The kids were really into it. My wife had one blue on and lost it.

Lots of S-B on the bay, saw JKJNP, Zacs, PIemma and saw Jim White a few times. Four trips fishing, lots of hours on the water and only 2 bass to show for it. Still had a blast. Fish were 18 and 22lbs. On bunker.
Had a great weekend. Heres a few lame self timer pics

Great pics and nice fish, Jimmy. What a great way to spend the day with the family. Making your kid happy with something that you like to do is awesome and really puts things in perspective. Next up, little Jimmy's first keeper.
