55 fish in 2 hours

[Jason Preslar]

Me and my dad hit a good sized pond last night. Neither of us had fished it in a while. He was using nightcrawlers under a float. I took the jig head and grub that comes with a Beetle Spin and just tied it directly to my line. So im using it without the spinner rig that comes with it. I was using the medium sized one thats black with yellow stripes on its back that has the forked tail. I simply just jigged it the whole time. I ended up with 31 fish. Dad caught the remainders. We literally caught fish like ever minute or two for 2 hours. (7-9) Big storm and rain just had passed. 75% of these fish were smaller bass up to about 2.5 pounds. The rest were bluegills. I caught my biggest bluegill ever. 9.5 inches long. These bigger gills we were catching were very dark in color and very pretty too. I didnt take the first picture the whole time and now i regret not having a pic of that big bluegill. Ill be back for him soon. Thanks for reading

 Sounds like you had a ball, Jason. Some of my best memories are of the times my Dad and I shared together fishing. I can remember going with him as a 4yr.old toting a cane pole, fishing for bluegills. One time we were fishing a river backwater off a bank that was about 3' off the water. Dad always would tell me to hold onto my pole, well I laid it down next to me and as you can guess, a fat gill pulled it in. It was gliding across the water, and Dad cast out and got it back for me. I was all smiles after wiping away the tears from thinking my pole was lost forever. This happened almost 58yrs. ago and it is a memory that makes me feel good every time I think of it. Dad died last September, and I don't have a lot of pictures of us fishing together, but the memories of these times will last forever.

i hate to hear that your dad has left us; but its a date we all have to show up for; ive got tons of memories with my dad from when i was tiny all the way up til present day; its one of those things that we take for granted but we all need to realize how important these folks in our lives really are to us
