About a week ago Levi and I headed down to the river for a couple days, Just trying to get a last trip in before school started. The kid used to love fishing but the fugging computer and video games are beating me out.

Fishing for big cats is just about the last fish, that gets him off the couch. It's always a road trip for us, we just don't have them in numbers in central Ohio. We spent 3 days down there, fishing was slow. I don't know if it was the lack of flow or they were still sitting on beds or what.

Despite the slow fishing levi did keep the game up with his personal best Flathead coming in at 44" and 34#'s. Man I love watching kids put fish in the boat like that. It just wears them out. At one point he says " Dad, my knees are shaking " lol.

The best thing about it is there's no cell service there!


And I did put a respectable 20# 36" in the boat.

Times are definitely changing. You couldn't keep me and my neighborhood friends in the house when I was a kid. About the only thing getting kids out the door these days is Pokemon Go.

Looks like you guys had a good time!

How many right hands does he have? Couple of nice fish and big smiles!
He had a little excitement going.... I laughed when I read this. I never noticed till you said something, levi was sitting next to me. He asked what I was laughing at..... I said oh nothing Daves making fun of you, for having 2 right hands. He hung his head shaking it.
