Thanks for the FYI. I'm glad to hear it.
These are the first and largest fresh water fish my kids have ever caught. The both worked the rod the ENTIRE time. It's a public lake, I pay my annual fee, and I will compare gas budgets ANY time someone wants to.
That lake is HORRENDOUSLY hard. For me I could just as easily go to the gorge and pound 30+ fish day in and day out....frankly it's not that hard.
However it's about the kids. If anyone wants to tell my three year old that the fish he worked for over 20 minutes to land and that's as tall as he is, can't be kept so we can mount it for him, then they need to seriously re-think their priorities and I'm very sorry for them.
I'm going to probably stop posting success stories at Bear however, too many bent noses of FISH for crying out loud! It's a 160 square mile lake....holy crap. I KNOW others have busted ass on that lake too, seeing a little success now and then is a good thing.
Anyway, enough of the soap box. Glad to know that not everyone frowns on us making our kids a priority and making sure we spend quality time together as family doing whatever we like to do.
Two thumbs up for you!
