…much less stressful that way. (Children don't get that concept, though…) |

Neat thing happened this afternoon. Went down to the 'office' just in time to see Matt, 'bout 12 y.o., catch the keeper snook I released two weeks ago! He let me fillet it 'cause he never cleaned a fish that big. Awesome event...!
Matt is one of those kids that ya wish was your own. He rides his bike to the ramp several times a week to fish. We share our baits and have a great rapport.
Oh, how did I know it was the same snook, you may ask? I use circle hooks which normally winds up in a corner of a fish's mouth. The one I caught was hooked in the 'tongue', which is very RARE! Matt's keeper had a 'spot' in the same place...
BTW, it was his first keeper snook! After the high fives and a big hug, he took the time to give me his bait before he rushed home with his fillets.
Oh yeah, almost forget... the snook was an 1/8" longer... |
