Put in at the riverpark at 3. Fished rip rap downtown and some docks also. Water was clear and 65. Caught 7 or 8 shorts. My grandpa said he was hung and I heard drag pulling on his zebco 33. We waited a minute and the fish started fighting just like a catfish. He hollered to get the net it was a bass. Got it in and it was a nice 3 3/4 lb largemouth. Beautiful, healthy, fat fish. I was so glad he hung a good one. About 30 seconds after we let it go he said I wish you would have caught it. I was like you're crazy.I was happier he caught it than if I would have. I'll try to get a picture up. Tough getting a pattern going lately.

I put in there also but around 1:00. I had about the same results. 4 lb bass and a decent smallie. Also caught a really big drum and one of the biggest channel cats I've ever caught. Caught close to ten cats trying to catch bass. Thanks for the report.

You should have left the picture. The quality wasn't great but it's definitely worth the pic. I saw it and then it disappeared! Put it back up haha We need more pics on here

Those are memories you'll cherish for a lifetime.. thanks for sharing !
No doubt about that! Im so thankful he is my fishing buddy. I'm looking at putting some steps on my trailer to make it easy for him to get in and out because he is nearly 80. His step isn't as springy as it used to be. I certainly don't want him to get hurt.
