Top Austin, 14 years old caught this 85.5" x 35.75" by himself with no assistance besides me cutting the eyes off the rod after fish broke it. That is right, 14 years old and kept his head even after things got a little hairy, proud for him. Middle is Dilan with a 71" x 29" which got in a tree but we are able to get it out anyway. Bottom is one of the average size fish, which usually run 4'-5.5' Total we had 6 fish with the three pictured and 2 other alligator gar as well as one of those pesky long nose with a big appetite. Still got some good dates this month, lets go! Thanks, Dawson

I believe they are firmly "hooked" on fishing now. With guys, the size is what dictates bragging rights. Good job in getting those boys some good fish, Dawson.
