Fishing with my son - 09/23/19 01:39 PM
My youngest son and I fished the 45th annual International Northern Pike tournament held here this past weekend and had a great time and some success. There were over 150 contestants fishing for two days and I was able to get second place after leading the whole first day and my son wound up getting 5th place. This is the second year in a row where I finished second and thought maybe this would be the time that I would finally take first but it was not to be. We got a couple of nice trophies and paychecks for having a great time catching fish. I have fished this tournament 43 out of the 45 years they have held it. Prizes are based on the largest fish...only one per day per contestant.
My fish was 13 pounds , seven ounces and my son's was 12 pounds, six ounces.

We don't get to see each other very often so this was an exciting father/son bonding adventure.
