Had the pleasure of taking my step son for his first fishing tournament experience. He's only 12 so he had to fish as a Junior, but these pics and the results prove he may be ready for bass champs :-D .
We fished Whitney, and boy was it rough. Figured we'd head to our cove I wanted to start in before the wind really kicked up. Got to our cove and handed the boy his rods and told him to start with this so we can try to establish a pattern. SO, tournament started at 7, took about a 10 minute boat ride to the cove and then couple minutes geting situated...so, we're fishing and I hear him say something, I look back and see his rod doubled over and the ol Zebco tinking. I ask if he's hung up and about that time the rod tip dives for the water "NET" I hollered and went for it. He brings up this

3.98lbs per the tourney scales. his PB bass..so we paused a moment to send pics to momma. We proceeded through the cove and catching a couple here and there. Before you know it, the kiddo has his limit by 930.
Here's the weigh in pics final weight 6.94lbs

better pic of his PB

So, the tourney results. He would have had second place in the adult division. HE did get first place Jr division and is on his way to his goal of Jr AOY for the club.
