15 lb Ono for 7 Yr old Tommy
A 15 lb Ono for 7 Yr old Tommy. Have you have ever witnessed the face of a child on a fishing rod fighting a fish of any size and anticipating what he is about to land? It is absolutely the most innocent display of sheer ecxitement you can imagine. Tommy is that story. On a half day family fishing trip with his Parents and Grandpa, we left the harbor and saw the Spinner Dolphin playing around the green buoy at the harbor entrance. We headed south. Having had no activity for hours, we were headed back to the harbor. Not a good feeling when you have a child that wants to catch a fish. After all, he was “Fishing”. This was an extremly patient young man that spent most of the time on the bridge looking for birds, splashes and any sigh that might bring a strike. As the day was winding down, First Mate Adam Ludwig switched out the stinger lure to a Bomboy Bullett and with about 30 seconds left before he was to start bringing in the lines, the stinger is bit! A Hail Mary Bite! 7 year old Tommy landed the 15 lb Ono and has a great story to tell. ( And a meal to share.) Happy New Year Tommy.
