Took my son back this weekend, we caught 10 or so smaller fish (wich were released) and he managed to catch this pretty nice flathead (30lbs). Funny thing is he had to catch it twice. Once we got her out of the hole, a older couple that had been watching from the bank came over and wanted some pictures. After taking some pictures on the bank my son went to transport the fish to the boat, and dropped it back in the lake, without hesitation he belly flopped on the big cat and wrestled her for a 2nd time. We all had a good laugh. Doesn't matter what kind of fishing were doing I always have a smile and a good time while fishing with my oldest son. He is 14 now, and at the age where he is "coming into his own" and doesn't have to be coddled as much. Don't get me wrong I really enjoy fishing with my smaller children, but it's nice that he is at the age where he is pretty much self reliant (in the boat anyway.)
