My son caught this last week. We went out fishing before he went to school. It was awesome.

Bet he had trouble concentrating in school.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

That bass has a mouth so big I think he could swallow your son! That's a gorgeous fish!

WHOA! I think I'd have given the lad the day off school for a fish like that! Unbelievable! What's the full story?

You guys in Texas....!
How many kids get to fish before school? Great parenting!!!

Most of us fish our whole life for a double digit bass and he catches one when hes just starting. Hes gonna have a hard time topping that one. Congrats!

That LMB is double digits and it looks thin to me. Congrats on a great fish!

This bass was actually a really awesome experience (not that they all aren't right?) My son, Hunter (who is thinking about changing his name to Fisher), was fishing a 6 inch worm. He caught a huge bluegill but it got caught on some sticks right above the water's surface. I told him to hold on and was trying to get the string unstuck from the sticks when the bass came up and tried to take half the bluegill. I told him to not reel and we watched the bass hit that bluegill about 4 more times. Then she came way out and took the whole bluegill! We waited about 3 seconds then set the hook and reeled her in. It was awesome. Now he just needs to shoot a 180 class buck and he'll be ruined for life with the outdoors

Awesome story! So Hunter learned a little lesson about live-lining, too! That is just so cool - tell him we all said congrats and that we'll expect him to make a run at the world record within his lifetime!
