1453, castaic whopper Posted by , Sun Jun-10-01 07:05 PM
Well my son may never equal his first bass. My son Cody begged me to take him fishing all day so I agreed to take him for the last hour or so of light. as light was fading at the lower lake lagoon at Castaic he threw out his night crawler and a yell went out I got one!!! His reel screamed I went to help and my 8 year old said NO WAY . So all I could do is coach him thru the battle. When i saw the fish break the surface my jaw dropped.I keep coaching till he finally said "PAPA" relax you are scaring me . With that I stood and watch him do his thing.after about 5 min. (felt like an hour) he landed his bass. It was at least 12lbs but no official weight I told him he could keep the bass . But my 8 year old son said no he reminded me we were a catch and release family with bass. I was so proud to see him let it go.Our future generation of fishermen had to remind this one. AIN'T FISHING GRAND!!!!
