Had a great Wednesday with my 2nd oldest Grandson fishing Center Hill Lake.  Water temps were 82-84, light breeze (often not enough) and partly cloudy skies.  We used Booza Football jigs; I used 3/4 on casting gear and he use 1/2 oz on spinning.  I hooked an 18" LM and flipped him in the boat - while that was going on BJ was just standing with his jig in the water watching me.  When I boated, measured and but it in the live well, he returned to fishing and had a fish on his line...a nice 17.8" spot - about 3#, that he brought to the boat.  It was gut hooked so I cut off the jig and placed him in the treated live well.  He didn't make it but we took a picture of him with it and also a picture with my LM.  He's a Freshman in College this year.

We also caught 4 others but smaller in size but just as much fun.  Came home to homemade chili and chips and he decided to spend the night.  He starts college Aug 25th so we need to make a few more trips before then.  The whole family (25+) will rent a big place on Tim's Ford for the Labor Day Weekend...we'll get some fishing done then for sure.

 Wow.  It's been a long time since I posted but in regards to fishing, there hasn't been much to share.  My oldest Daughter (45+) gave one of her kidneys to her son (My Grandson) in February - that was a long ordeal but everyone is fine and healthy now.  I had some overseas travel in March and April.  A neighbor's tree fell on our Buick.  It grazed the house, took out the fence, landed on my Tahoe (thankfully no damage) and bent up the frame on my mower trailer.  When I came home from my travels in May, I found the boat's onboard battery charger failed, putting 32VDC into the starting battery.  Long story short, the battery top was loose from the battery and completely dried out upon my return.  It had shorted out the rectifiers on the boat along with the Tachometer.  That brings us to today as I finally got the boat back (in repair since 2-weeks before 4th of July.  So, I finally went fishing late this afternoon and with decent results.  These were the biggest but also caught 2 other smaller SM, 1 other small LM and a decent Spot.  Thankful to get on the water at last.
