That is a MONSTER spot. I caught one that was 4-6 last winter, the absolute PRETTIEST fish I ever caught. I almost kept her to mount for I did not know much about them as far as how big they get and I found out later that the lake record for Dale on a Kentucky Bass is 4-9, if what the guy told me was true. I turned her loose and would say she has gained those 3 ounces by now. Beautiful fish, that fought like a CHAMP. Old All Pro Rod was plum doubled up for a long time during that struggle. Perfect FNF day for I remember it well, bone chilling cold, windy, spitting sleet, snow and rain and caught her off a spot that if I catch a fish it is usually a 3lb or better Brown fish but I was not complaining one bit. Beautiful Fish.

I can only hope that when my little boy gets to be 6, he has the luck to catch a bute like that. He is 3 now and loves to make cast and reel up his little tykes rod plus I keep a normal spinning reel next to my recliner and he sits in my lap and reels it for fun. I ask him what kind of fish does Daddy catch and he says "Big Mall Mall Mall Mall Mouth Bass" **** Skippy Daddy Says!!!!! 3 more years to learn more about Dale and then Joshua "Daddy's Boy" Lumpkins will be in the boat with Daddy and probably Cliff chasing "Them Old Brownfish", with Cliff manning the front and Daddy trying to keep the rambunctious one in the boat and not in the water. Cliff's job is to work the trolling motor and man the NET for he still has not given me enough experience on the Net end of the equation.
