My son and I spent the early morning anticipating a topwater bite. We started fishing with torpedoes, but after a rather slow start we changed tactics. I took the opportunity of a slower day to introduce my son to fishing soft plastics. Rather than fishing myself I spent most of the morning teaching my son and keeping the boat positioned for him. After about an hour and missing several fish he finally hooked into one. What I witnessed was an epic battle between my son and the largest fish he has ever caught. It will certainly go down as one of my favorite fishing moments ever. We did not have a scale, but it was a really nice fish (see photo).  All in all we landed 7 fish, 6 in the 14 to 16 range and the big one. A great way to end the summer indeed!
