Beautiful bucketmouth

Grandson Mikey landed this beautiful largemouth this morning. Smile speaks for itself! Quick pic, quick weight (6'5") and back the big girl went. Nothing like seeing our children or grandkids getting involved in the great fisheries we have in our back yard.

Nice healthy fish, congrats Mikey on your personal best and great accomplishment.

6.5 is LEGIT. Great smile...great post. Congrats!

Guys, thanks so much for your thoughtful and supportive replies. So proud of Mikey. Even how he's handling this fish. His father told him years ago never touch the gills and support the fish if you want a picture. Even in his exuberance, he was more concerned about getting the big girl back in the water than the picture itself even though he was obviously over the moon excited about the picture. Fishing does so much more for our kids than teach them to fish. It builds character and helps them appreciate and respect nature at an early age. Couldn't be more proud of Mikey, he's going to be a good guardian of our sport for a long time. Thanks again for all your kind replies.
