Capt. Troy Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 Sammy is 8 years old and got a big surprise yesterday when on the retriev this snook crushed his bait 10 feet from the rod tip. She put up a heck of a fight and he handled her all by himself. Dad has never caught one that big. Just shy of 37 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEM Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 Nice catch of a lifetime for that young man! He is "hooked." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Troy Posted March 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Kid would not stop. The bite sucked all day and the wind was out of control. He reminds of a kid I know. There is hope for our young ones. He was very concerned about the handling of the fish he caught. Even wanted to know about slot limits and the biology of snook. I was impressed and inspired.

whichwaysup Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Man, doesn't that just make your day! You know you are living right when you get more enjoyment out of watching a kid do something you've never done than had you done it yourself!
