Hit the chick for a few hours on monday evening. Caught a few on swimmers and worms. But this post is all about my son (12 but young at bass fishing). He&#39;s struggled a bit this summer watchin the old-man fish the same bait he was and catch good fish while he would only pulled in a few on cranks. He was down to say the least. But last night after having that dad-to-son talk of perseverance, I watched him throw and throw and then he finally felt his first real &quot;thump-thump&quot;. And WHAM, set the hook, fish in the boat. I couldn&#39;t be more happier to see his success and to welcome him into the club of &quot;worm men, extrodanaire&quot;. It was better than .... well - that&#39;s another dad-to-son talk that&#39;ll happen much later. emoAngel <br /><br />Would be interested in hearing some of your stories for those FIRST REAL ENCOUNTERS
