Default Kids first 50"er

Me and the boy have been out hammering the dino's quite a bit lately, and he's put a few decent ones in the boat, but had yet to catch one over 50". Tonight it finally happened........the evening was slow, with only 2 little ones caught, and then 4 minutes before we were going to pull the rods in he hooked up to this 53.5" one. Battled it like a pro, and it was in the net 9 minutes after hook-up. Best part was Grandpa was there too and filmed the battle, which I've heard the boy watching pretty much on repeat in his room since we got home lol. These are the moments that life is all about!
