What's the odds

Gentlemen, Son and myself went up to a Buddy's lake on the other side of Charlestown, he has about 25 acres of water. About noon my son pulls out of about 5' diameter brush 31/2 lb male ( tail all bloody ) Released him same spot. About an hour later I teased him and told him I was going to catch the one he missed out of the same brush. Tap it a couple of times ( 7 inch black berkley) on the 1st cast got him on the second, this time though it was a 3lb. male tail all bloody, and had a big scar Between his left hinge and eye. Again released him at the same spot, Overall 9 bass 2 more over 2lbs. and 1 nice crappie! Good time but the ole man is wore out!
