Great stuff, congrats John & Liam.

Congrats to both Dad and son for Liam coming into his own as a fisherman. An event you'll both remmeber for a lifetime.
Now there will be a long time of both of you holding your own . Then inevitably the time will come when Liam has to start grabbing the leader for his dad , then maybe casting the heavy stuff out for him , etc.  |

WAY TO GO LIAM!
I guess that certainly qualifies for a great night John.
Congrats to both of you 
I have that same plug, guess I should put it in my rotation 
That's the way to show your dad how to catch fish Liam!  |

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Great Story, Congratulations! Tough to tell who is more proud, Dad or Son? I have a 9 year old fish addict too....makes me smile looking over my shoulder at 3AM and seeing him cast out looking for a monster. Kind of puts life in perspective. Good Job Liam and John.
