I have some really nice neighbor kids that moved in a couple years ago and have been very helpful to my wife and I also their DAD is the man in charge of the clean up of those collapsed electrical towers here in Laporte County. These kids are home schooled so when they are not busy doing things around the house they are in my pond fishing. This February I told their dad that I wanted to take them out on Lake Michigan so I booked a trip aboard the IN THE BOX out of St Joe Michigan with friend and Captain Jarrod Hasse and yesterday was that day. captainexperiences.com/guides/in-the-box-fishing-chartersWeather was perfect with a slight breeze out of the SW, less than 1 foot waves, air temp in the 60's and clear blue skies. There was little to no moon when we headed out at 5:30am. The photos will tell the story:

These kids before today had never caught anything bigger than a bass or Bluegill, they had a ball! In all we caught 16, lost a couple and ended up with an estimated 140 +/_ pounds of fish.
All three of these kids are adopted.

Looks like fun how many fish were caught? We caught 16 mostly Lake Trout with a couple COHO and Steelhead. We could have had more but there was learning curve.

Awesome work!
And to be fair, I am a kid compared to you. Anytime you need to take another kid fishing!
