Now that's just funny Bob.
I live not too far from Charles and I keep having a dream that I will run
into him at a Catfish Restaurant.

He sure has your genes, Charles... he'll really demonstrate that when he
lands his first big catfish on a buzzrbait!

My wife and I were both off from work today, so I had planned on getting
her out on the boat today. She says I never offer to take her with me, so
today in the 97 degree heat... was her day to go. LOL

Anyway, we took our son with us since all I was really wanting to do was
to run the boat for awhile. So after replacing the prop that Joe had
modified the night before, the three of us were off to waste gas, see
some sights, and spend some time together. Bradley Jr., after driving
around some, wanted to catch some fish. I wasn't really planning on
fishing or I would have picked up a box of night crawlers and went
somewhere shady and caught a load of bream... but, I told him we'd fish
my way.

Went to secret spot number 1 that only Joe and I, and probably the rest
of Nashville know about and dropped the trolling motor. I reached into
the rod locker to get a rod and found one with a jig. I pitched it to a
few places, handing Bradley the rod each time. About his fifth time he
set the hook! I had to coach him a little on keeping the rod tip up, but
all in all he did great. Finally, he swung it over into the boat "just
like the do on TV", and almost into his mothers lap. He had a nice
smallmouth of about 14". He fished for a few more minutes, but tired out
since the action just wasn't there. It was hot anyway and sitting still
too long was almost impossible.

Bradley wouldn't hold his catch, so unfortunately I couldn't get his
picture. But, I'm sure that the two of us will still remember this for a
long while.
