I took a 90 year old World War II vet out today on Lake Travis and we had a blast. He wanted to catch some white bass for a fish fry and I've been on them pretty good. We hit the first area with no success on whites but caught several largemouth and guadalupe bass.
Since he was after whites though, I quickly moved to where some were moving up the previous day. When we got in there, it was every cast. There were 4 of us on the boat and we had several quadruple hookups. What a blast. At one point, he told me he was in 7th heaven. That made my day as well. What an honor it was to give back to someone from one of the greatest eras of our time.
We caught 38 with another mixed bag and they took home plenty of whites to eat. He caught a nice largemouth to boot. Great time with a veteran.
