This young man has come down to the docks everyday fishing and even if he doesn’t catch fish, he always has a smile on his face and is extremely respectful. He is one of the most dedicated young fishermen I’ve ever ran across. I know he hasn’t had a lot of luck with the fish cooperating for him. I asked him if I had a day during the week I was able to take him out on the boat and go have some fun catching fish if he wanted to go. His eyes lit up and was absolutely thrilled. After ok’ing everything with his mom, we went out today and boy oh boy did he catch some fish. We had our 2 walleye and 1 sauger keepers in the first 20 min. We knew there were perch down there as well and I asked him if he wanted to go catch more walleye or sit here and put a hurt on the perch. The pictures tell ya what he decided. We caught a lot of other walleye and perch today but this is what we kept to bring home for him and his family to enjoy for a very nice fish fry. The smile on his face is what it’s all about and it was an absolute pleasure having him out there with me today.
If you’re looking to do some fishing I have availability so give me a call to get you on the calendar. Capt. Cooper @ 913-638-3748
