What did you get him with? I will be honest, I have never caught a bass that big, Ohio is not known for lunkers like that, I've caught some 3-4lbers, but that right there, is a big fish. I used to be huge into fishing, but its harder with kids. Last weekend I went to a pond, caught a couple decent babies around 14-16 inches, but when you have 5 kids you are trying to corral, its a bit difficult to fish lol. Always helping cast, or bait, or reel, or untangle, or pick someone up out of the mud. Last week was pretty hilarious, I told one of my 3 year olds, don't run through that muddy patch, you will slip and fall in the pond, not 5 minutes later LOL.
