Brook woke up about 8 am on Saturday morning. The boy and I had already been up for quite awhile and when we showed her the pics from our sunrise excursion she promptly made me take off his pajamas??????

Nate,
You made my day too!

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.

Great Pic, Nate. Extrapolating from the other Herman boys' appearances and reported ages, he must be, what, 12 or 13 years old?

I guess the young whelp had no concerns about the boy being poked by one of the spines/fins?

Sunil, it must get awful lonely being in between those young whelps and us old farts.

I have my peeps:
Fattay
Overton

Sue Cruz (of course, we'll take her even though she's only 29 in our book)
Condello (borderline too old)
Yolk Sac (not as borderline as Condello)
CJ (we'll take him even though he's young; shift work has aged him)

Sunil, spider man is not afraid of old worn down catfish stingers.
Theo, the boy is 22 months and is already pretty much doomed to become a lifelong pond boss member. I'm sure he'll have the internet figured out in a few months and will start making posts about his fishing adventures.

What was the first word out of the mouth of young Noah Herman, a 9-month-old whose father, Nate Herman, runs Herman Brothers Pond Management? "Fishy," Noah said Monday, drawing a smile from his father and a less excited reaction from mother, Brook. "Fishy can't be his first word. Can it?" she asked. Sure it can, particularly since dad stocked 1.1 million fish so far this spring. . . . Speaking of the Hermans, they showed off a lake near Norris they stocked with perch, walleye, smallmouth bass and hybrid striped bass (along with more typical central Illinois pond fare). Catching perch and walleye without driving north is a real bonus in my book. Look for Herman Brothers to open a store in about three weeks off Allen Road across from the new Menard's. They'll be selling pond gear off their Web site (hbpondmanagement.com)

That's a truly priceless photo Nate! Catfish are under-rated, especially with regards to their value for kiddos.
It's ALL about the fish!

I think the boy heard about Overton's choke-hold and wanted to try it on something besides his big sister.

I've been out of town, so I haven't seen this thread yet. That is an awesome picture, Nate!
Noah will be taking over for 'ol dad in no time. He looks like a natural!
