David Spears & Brandon King
For the last two Saturdays I had the opportunity to return to the John Day river for bass fishing. Last weekend I went with David Spears & Brandon King and had a wonderful time.
David In The Fast Water
It was hot, the water was great, the fishing was good and the fellowship was fine!
Yesterday I had one of the very best days ever on the river! I had the pleasure of having both Amy and my good friend and brother-in-law Mitch Teixeira go with me.
Mitch & Amy
Between the three of us we caught nearly 400 bass!!! We had to make ourselves quit.
Only One of Mitch's 126 Fish Landed!
At one point in Amy’s life she aspired to be a nurse. Now she takes care of me and the kids. Yesterday she styled herself as a bass surgeon doing her very best to remove hooks without damaging the poor things.
Amy's Surgical Technique
Believe it or not – I think all of the 104 fish she caught survived – At least they swam away!
Amy's Catch
What an unbelievable blessing it is to have a wife who is also your fishing buddy!
May God bless me with many such days as these – and with such beloved friends!

Dad and I decided (with the encouragement of Amy and Chris Wilson) that it was time for us to get away for our first fishing trip of the year. We decided on Henry Hagg Lake. We had a typical Oregon spring day for it, rain with occasional sunshine – But we were dressed for the worst of it. We had a great time.
We arrived at about 7 AM
Dad and his boat!
We were in the water (the boat was in the water – we were in the boat) by about 7:30 AM
We caught some trout – But the real thrill was getting some really good sized bass. I caught 4 over 12 inches. Here is #1
More of #1
12"
Here is the second bass
12 Inches
The Third Bass
13 Inches
More of #3
Still more of #3 (can’t let the pictures go to waste – Gotta share!)
These babies are so much fun!
Sadly, dad didn’t get into any of these beauties this time – But he had a great attitude.
It’s so wonderful to have a godly father, and to continue to enjoy one another’s company as mature adults!
The Grand-daddy of the Dad – 14 Inches!
More of the 14 Incher
Happy to be a bass fisherman!
Thanks dad for coming out with me. It was a great time!
