Success!

Not a big deal and this will be the last picture odyssey for awhile, but wanted to share a fine night with my son. He's caught fish before and he's a decent caster, but for some reason the last few times we've gone, he's struck out.

Anyway, a great night with my boy before he's swept away with football...and basketball...and track...
