Kent Lake Fishin'

[fmontie]

First time post-Hope I don't screw up to bad.........Late post due to learning my new camera.
Kent Lake on December 28 with my 2 sons Matt (Young Guns) and Kevin (Can't Touch This). Matt caught a trophy 7.5 lb. largemouth that was 23" long on a tip-up w/ sucker minnow. Released to "fatten up" a little.
Caught over 20 bass (over 12"), 4 small pike, 4 perch (average 9") and bluegills (7"-8").
Here's our pics:

Kent Lake on January 4. Kevin (Can't Touch This) caught the "fish of the day", a 6.5 lunker largemouth bass caught on a tip-up w/ sucker minnow. Released of course. Caught 30 bass over 12", 2 crappies (9" and 10"), 5 perch (9" average), and non-stop bluegills (7" to 8") when requested. My sons are finally out fishin the old man. Big bass of tip-ups, but Swedish Pimples with yellow or green prism tape are the killer lure.
Here's our pics in storybook style:
