Yes it is great to be out fished by my son. It was exciting when he hooked into it and it started pulling out drag. When we got it on the ice the first thing he said is "that's the biggest fish I have ever caught". I caught one small one. I seem to only be able to catch the tender young "hammer handles". The second one he caught hit both of our jigs a few times before he got a good hook set. It was exciting and entertaining to watch it go back and forth from jig to jig on the fish finder. We were in a shelter so we were only fishing about 5 feet apart. He was fishing near the bottom in 17 FOW and I was about mid-way up. He seems to have the hot hand on a lot of our fishing trips. Good times. Now he gets to spend today (Saturday) getting caught up on his school work. [cool]
