« on: Dec 24, 2010, 08:15 PM »
My 7 year old wanted me to put his pic on here. I set it for him , but he did all the rest with some coaching from me. not a keeper but he got super pumped up fighting him hand to fish. Andnow he knows why i call them snot rockets.

VERY COOL!!!! Judging by that smile I would say he will have plenty of stories to tell when he goes back to school after winter break. Yeah I got to show my nephew this winter why they call them snot rockets. But after I set the hook and he pulled the fish all the way in to the hole and when he seen the fish and how large it was he frieked out a little bit and let go of the line. Luckily I was able to get the line and bring the fish back up to the whole. I tried to get him to take the line but he was a little nerved. I got the fish in he was a little more at ease after he held it. But the first thing he said was "uncle dusty he just slimmed me" LOL It 39 inches and weighed right at 20 pounds. But it was a day I will never forget I can only hope he won't either. Merry Christmas!!!!!

Awesome picture.  I'm sure that jacket had a slime trail on it but I'm sure he didnt mind.
