My Son's New Pb (Loxahatchee) 2024
piscicidal reply :
Went out this morning for a few hours with my son. He wanted to go to Okeechobee, but I wasn't sure if the weather was going to hold out so we went to nearby Loxahatchee Preserve, instead.
Arrived about half hour after safe light and started fishing. My third cast of the morning yielded a 4lber...About five minutes later my son is cranking in his topwater frog and I hear a tremendous splash...I look and his bait is gone in a big swirl. I yell at him to set the hook which he does. Instantly his medium action spinning rod doubles over and a huge mouth comes out of the water churning back and forth. Oh-oh.... But, he fought it like a champ, wrestled it out of the weeds a couple times and got her boat side where I grabbed it.
Weight was 6.80 lbs...besting his PB by over a pound. At six and a half years old he has now caught a bass bigger than his age twice.
We went on to have a tremendous morning of fishing...I had the boat back on the trailer at 10:00 with 15 bass, at least half of those over three, including three over four, and the 6.80. Easily 21-22lb bag in about three hours fishing. I left them biting....my last two fish were a 4.0 and a 4.5. My son saw my fish getting bigger and I think he wanted to go home while he still had me beat (which I was glad to do).

Way to go! 
Good job putting him on fish. I wish I was catching bass that size at that age. Does he fish any of the local youth tourneys? catching fish that size, it might be something to think about.

piscicidal reply :
Thanks everybody. Luke will be thrilled to read all the encouraging comments.
He's becoming a pretty good fisherman. Absolutely loves topwater fishing and peacock bass fishing. Catching peacock on a tiny torpedo is probably his favorite thing to do. Refuses to use senkos now...LOL.
No tournaments or anything like that for him...just trying my best to keep it fun right now. If he wants to do that stuff as he gets older, I'll support him.
