For the past two months, he and his son, Chris, have been coaching the T-ball team of Chris's son. The season has ended, though, so Jerry and Chris grabbed their fishin' hats this morning and headed for the Northwest River--for their first trip together so far this year.
After having a rough day at West Neck this past Wednesday, Jerry wanted to try some different water. The Northwest proved to be "very muddy," as he described it, but the bite was on. This 14-incher came on only Jerry's second cast and turned out to be the best of their day, but they also caught more.
Over the next five hours, they would bag seven more bass, one crappie, and according to Jerry, "a very healthy bowfin. Thankfully, the bowfin threw the hook while Chris was 'toying' with him beside the boat."
The day's bite may have been slow, but the father-son duo were just happy to be back out on the water again on a Saturday. "And unlike my last trip to the Northwest, snakes were NOT a factor today," Jerry concluded.
