Florida Bass Fishing Dad's & Son's Report:
December 26 & 27, 1997
7 1/2 lbs

Florida bass fishing produced this 7 1/2 lb.bass.
Had a father and son team out shiner fishing for one and a half days (Dec. 26th. & 27th. 1997). Richard and his eleven year old son Robert (Robbie) Mahler (Staten Island, NY - e-mail: mahler@aol.com) caught and released 26 bass up to 7 1/2 lbs. We had 10 bass that ran from 4 to 4 1/2 lbs. Robbie hooked and landed the 7 1/2 lb’er all by himself. This bass was first hooked by Robbie’s dad a half hour earlier and got away after it threw the hook when it jumped clear out of the water.... The reason I know it was the same bass is that it had a chunk of flesh “still bloody” ripped out of it's mouth! In the 14 years that I have guided on Okeechobee I would have to say that this has happened several times with clients I have had out. In fact, I have had my clients hook big fish that we saw and lost simply by “immediately” casting a fresh wild shiner right out where they lost the fish. Robbie will never let his dad forget how he lost that 7 1/2 lb’er. I of course helped to add fuel to that memory.

Florida Bass Fishing Dad's & Son's Report:
December 23, 1997
6 lbs

Florida bass fishing produced this 6 lb.bass.
Guided a father and his 10 year old son for a day (Dec. 23, 1997) of wild shiner fishing on lake Okeechobee (Mike and son Nick Kropp - Franklin, WI - e-mail: klmnkropp@webtv.net). We managed to put 10 bass in the boat up to 6 lbs. Nick hooked and landed the 6 lb’er with a little help from his dad. We fished the North Shore of the lake around the floating grass islands. Morning fishing was slow because I could not move around to locate active fish due to a heavy fog that blanketed the lake all morning. We however had plenty of action during the afternoon session of fishing. Mike and Nick released all the fish.
