LKA 11-21 with Benjamin

Grandson didn't get here until 9:30 this morning, but he was ready to go immediately.  North Anna arm was a muddy mess, so we just kept going down towards the splits.  Saw 3  boats working birds there and left them alone with those fish.  Started out at Jetts and put a keeper in the boat right away.

The fish were mostly scattered and we worked our way up past Stubbs only to loose 4 fish in the process (Benjamin has a hard time keeping his rod tip up with a fish on, and a low tip with slack spells you-know-what).  Anyway, he hooks up with a monster a little after noon and it is a drag screamer.  I have to take over after 5 minutes or so and get it within 10 feet of the boat and get a look......it is massive and at least 36" and 20 lbs.  It takes off like a bat out of hell when it sees the boat. It gets off after another 10 minutes of chasing it with the boat.....oh well.....just another great "fish story" big_smile

He swears that he wants to go out again tomorrow morning in the sub-20 temps. We'll see.......... roll

Sucks to lose that big one but there will be some nice fillets on that keeper he's holding.
