On Wednesday night, Wyatt and I went fishing at our new favorite spot after super. We stated off bobber fishing with worms without much luck. We moved along the shore a few times trying to find the fish. I decided to switch to a shallow Shad Rap. I quickly caught a couple of smaller ones while he was having a snack. I asked if he wanted to use one of my Rapala crank baits or keep using a worm. He quickly chooses the Rapala.
We were on our last cast when something special happened. He was letting his lure float on top and jerking it along once and a while. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed a swell in the water and he tells me I have one Daddy. A few seconds later I see this giant bass go airborne trying to throw the hook. All I can think is for him to keep his line as tight as possible. Keep in mind that he is using his trusty Lightning McQueen 2 foot kid combo. I grab my phone and got some raw video footage of him reeling it in and the fish going airborne for a second time. I couldn’t stop telling him to “keep going, keep going buddy”.
Once out of the water I realized just how big and special of a fish this was. 
It measured 20” from tail to an open mouth and was an estimated 5 pound largemouth bass. I am so proud of him and feel so blessed to see him catch this kind of a bass. Thanks deertracker (DT) for getting Wyatt this fishing pole when he turned 3 and for getting me back into fishing.
Thank you Lord!
Nice catch and congrats!
