Conors Bass


Conor caught this 2 lb. Bass out of Coors Lake here in Bagdad, Az. Tom has been to this lake almost everyday for a few weeks now. He's caught several bass, crappie and blue gill. One day he brought Kya fishing in the morning and then Conor in the afternoon. Tom was laid off from the mine out here in December and after applying for over 200 jobs in his field that he's completely qualifed for and recieving no call backs and denials on his follow-ups, he has decided to become a full time fisherman. I told him I'm fine with it as long as he goes to plenty of tournaments and brings home prize money. You laugh, but he really is that good. I dream of being the wife who gets the call from her husband, who is standing on the stage of the Bass Master Classic, to tell her he won a million dollars. Actually I'd rather be in the audience cheering him on but usually the winner really does call his wife while on stage. I figure she's not there because she's on the verge of leaving him cause he's never around. So I guess I'm the reason Tom will never be on stage at BMC. Sorry. I'm extremely proud of Conor though. They didn't have the camera with them so they left it on a stringer in the lake and came home to get the rest of us to go see and get a pic. Nothing makes Tom prouder than pics of his kids lipin' a bass. Yeah we have several.
