Someone left a plastic Jesus figure on a shelf at my son's work a few months ago. Fast-forward to yesterday, when that son expressed interest in wading the James for smallmouth for the first time. That made me a happy dad indeed!

I did not want to take him on his first river fishing trip and outfish him, so I rigged up JC on a FlashBack Mini head and figured I would just throw it in the opposite direction of where I was showing him to cast his more traditional river smallmouth baits.

Well, he got some bites, but I landed the only fish. A channel cat on the one-of-one Holy Roller Chatterbait.
