Like Father Like Son

After spending last Sunday October 6, 2013 on the water fishing with my dad, I realized that sometimes the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.  Recently my dad turn the bright young age of 60.  Hard for me to imagine that because he doesn't act near what I normally envision for a man his age.  Sunday took me back to my childhood; just me, dad and the fish.  Except he was really the only one to find the later.  As I sat down to write my blog and put together the film from the day, I realized that it didn't matter whether or not I caught fish.  It was just good to be on the water with dad.  I actually felt like somewhat of a guide as on two separate occasions I told him where to cast and he caught decent bass.  I thought that this is what it must have felt like for him to see me catch them as a kid.

Well dad here is to you.  To the man who put the first rod in my hand. Thanks for always being there for me.

Below is a video compilation of all video I have of my dad catching a few from this season.

Lake Tecumseh and Hells Creek

September 28, 2013
I got a chance to get out on Saturday with a mission to fish.  A huge thank you goes out to my dad who kindly allowed me to use his NuCanoe for my adventure.  My trusted fishing buddy, Brandon and I headed out at first light for Lake Tecumseh.  We anticipated a windy day but were not ready for the 25 to 30 mph winds that we would face.  I landed two decent fish in the grass beds and lily pads on the lake before we gave up battling the winds and tough fishing.  We moved the boat into Hell's Creek where we found some protection from the wind.  The water level was down about 2 feet from the strong northern winds that we had been facing for a couple days.  The fishing was steady.  We landed 10 for the day.  Of course we missed a few but it turn out to be a good day.  We caught them on black chigger craw crazy legs and bubble gum fluke. The fish in the creek were holding tight to structure. The two from Lake Tecumseh we both caught on a KVD Sexy frog. The only fish I thought of weighing weight in a 3.26 lbs

I hope you enjoy the video.  I am still learning this editing process.  I was having some technical difficulties with the camera so I missed capturing a few of the fish
