There is no finer thrill to experience then
the expression on a youngster's face when they hook and land a
Florida bass. These kids have a way of going over all of the details
of how they caught that Florida bass that really makes it very
exciting to listen to. They somehow always seem to make the bass
a pound or more bigger each time they tell the story. In any event
there is no other lasting memory a father and son could ever experience
together that will always be talked about over the years during
all the family holiday get togethers.
