I was able to do a lot of fishing with my kids and my brother and his kids this weekend. I got to take my wife and 2 daughters out one evening as well. A few pics are attached. The best moments from the weekend were my son catching a 17" smallmouth totally unassisted and my daughter Molly reeling in her first gar with dad's assistance (she turns 2 next week). My daughter Ruby who will be 4 had one gar on but lost it.

Here's the pics.

My son landed this one this morning with no assistance.

Looks like a good life, GarMaster Bob. You're raising 'em right!

Sounds like a great weekend. Smiles all around.

Wow, is it ever still green down there. You got cute kids Bob, nice fish too.

Thanks guys. It was definitely fun.

Thanks MikeB. Thankfully, they take after my wife; she's got the good genes. The leaves will start changing here in a couple of weeks.

Sounds like one of those weekends that are hard to top. Family time mixed in with some good fishing!

Lets see, GM Bob's 2 year old can catch gar, yet I know some adults who have yet to land one themselves. They might need to take some lessons...

Ouch Avid... ouch...

Garmaster - awesome report, cool to see the kids with gar. Maybe next summer (with any luck) I'll find the time to make the drive down there from the northlands...
