I was out at the boat slip with my buddies and their fams. they were catching bluegills and asked why they were not bigger. I immediately jumped into action and took some hamburger buns and mashed up some strawberries and made some dough. caught 6-7 buffs and a couple carp all between 4-12# I would holler em "YANK IT!" when one took the bait and the fight was ON! I was laughing my head off watching these 40-60# kiddos fight these fish I had to hang onto their life jackets so they did not get hauled in.

I had more fun watching them than catching myself.

could not get any of them to hold one but still a good day. Got a bunch of hugs when they all left.

just thought I would share my great day. (not my kids so I am not going to post up the pics) I remember when my son was enthusiastic about fishing now it is girls, jobs, college, cars ect.

Sounds like you all had a blast. That is what fishing is all about. Thanks for sharing.

Good job sounds fun

Super post! Enjoying the outdoors with some Lifetime Memories.

Awesome, I'm a tpwd fishing instructor and my favorite pic is me with a maybe 7 year old girl who caught a 2 pound bass at a kids fish event. You had more fun than the kids I'm sure!

Awesome post.

Nice post!

Tell me more about this "hamburger bun and strawberry" dough....please.

Thanks

Just took stale white bread hamburger buns and mashed up strawberries to a watery pulp, put them in a bowl with the buns and added just a little water at a time until I got a fairly firm dough texture and it would stay on a little hook. I used 6-7 buns and 7-8 strawberries if I remember correctly. Just add water a little at a time or you will end up with pudding.
