I joined this forum to learn and share. And have met and fished with some great guys! I let it settle til now. To whom ever wants to say my son didn't catch his fish, be a man and approach me about it! Talking behind my and my boys back is a shame. I teach my kids integrity and honesty! As a fisherman I have been calling that 50 #r since we started fishing for these blues on EM. Just so happens my son got that hookup! Now im aiming at him as a sportman! But proud of him as a father! But to the seriousness saying all that talking... man up and bring a lunch son! Im calling out whoever has something to say! We can come from the shoulders with it! Thats how serious I take my word and raising of my kids!

This is deeper than that to me! Yeah our learning curve is sharp and this will be our second season fishing gods creatures but there were so many things and people instrumental in this. Me and my son won brother terrys benefit tournament. In that tournament my son also won a pa rod which brother terry got bob aka deer strangler to donate to that benefit tournament. Two people whom I talk with often. We caught fish that whole spring break. Good and big fish. I had 3 pbs this year alone so far! Looking for another! But any hoo .. He caught that lake record on that very same pole! So this isnt just about me or my son. It was a fishing community that worked across the board! I value all relationships and interactions. But for someone to take out of context what my autistic middle son said and to say something so sorry is just down right wrong and the blessing I have in it is I don't know yet who was running there mouth! I really don't like being put in a situation like this cause its easy to beat the snot from the go behind guy! But thats where being an example to my boys come in! They are your blessing go behind! Now that we got that out of the way.... tight lines to the rest of you!

Way to go Randy, time to get some frames and mount them on the wall, make sure its in a place where your dad can see them everyday so he will know who the champ is on that boat

Me and my son would like to send a very big thank you to Chad Ferguson and Brother Terry for taking time out of there day to help certify my sons fish! Through all of life happening, jobs, careers and anything elsecthat could of gotten in the way, again... thanks!

Haha! You got jokes mike! Before we put the boat in he's in my ear with it! So now I have to catch that 60!! Can't do anything but trump him now lol!

You have been good for this forum. Keep up the good work. I saw a young boy shaking his hands up and down so I ask him what he was doing and he said with a smile, shake the haters off.

Hey catman.. it was nice to meet you and your son the other day at the twin points ramp.. I have never met a young man that was soooo excited about fishing..besides me when I was his age. Lol tight lines to ya

I had no idea this was happening Vess--
Damn shame--

I love this forum but I post less because of a couple of guys I get irritated at--
It just wasn't worth arguing with a couple of losers on a forum.
Good on you for calling them out.
And congrats to you and your young man!

It's a shame that some people would even have the nerve to question your boy's record! Haters will always hate so just ignore them and keep catching the big ones! Make sure to post pictures here so they can continue to hate LMAO

I've been out so I guess I missed the drama. Anyhow, congrats to your son and you!

Congrats to the kiddo. Keep up the good work!

Keep up the good work, post all pictures to keep the jealous haters haten ,if you need any help with the haters im a p/m away

Outstanding catch!

We have a great little function on the TFF for guys like you describe. You can put them on 'ignore' status and you don't have to pay any attention to them.

Way to go don't worry what the other people say just be proud of your son,there day will come.

Congrats to both of you !
Hopefully this next year will be as fun as last with lots of big fish caught!
