Title: Proud of my grandson
Post by: hawgthumper on 04/07/19 18:09 UTC: Super proud of Elijah. He was able to finish 14th out of 52 competitors today in a local kayak tournament. He caught his fish on a diner shiner swimbait head that he and I poured and painted yesterday. It was a super tough bite but he did okay. Remember folks, he’s only 12. And he beat some pretty darned good anglers, most of which didn’t catch a fish. The Diner Shiner is a real winner!(http://)

Post by: hawgthumper on 04/08/19 04:54 UTC: Thanks for all the kind words folks. He really is a pretty good kid. I’ve had him fishing literally since he was 6 months old. And loved every moment of it. Crazy proud of him!
