Took my seven year old son Alex out for a little while to drag a crankbait today and hopefully catch some more. He cant throw a dd22 so I just threw it out and drug it around with the trolling motor. I think he probably missed about a million bites because i was getting the rod knocked out of my hand. After about twenty minutes he started struggling to real something in. It took him about five minutes (he is using my 7ft rods) to get it in but when he did it was pushing 5 lbs. I caught one a little bigger but he says I'm wrong. Here is a pic of my boy with his first crankbait toad. these fish were in 40 - 55 ft of water.
