Andrew Barnes of West Fort Hood, TX, with a slab white bass that fell for a downrigged bait at around 21 feet this morning.
Triple!! Three white bass on the umbrella rig at the same time.
Andrew, his sister, and his nephew all live on West Fort Hood, TX, with his mom, Kelli Hutcheson and his step-dad, Sergeant (E-5) Sean Hutcheson. Sean is currently at the Army’s Advanced Leader Course (ALC) in Fort Sill, OK. The ALC is a course that consists of both a 90-day online phase and a roughly 8-week resident training phase which teaches soldiers to lead squad- and platoon-sized elements, and prepares them for promotion to Staff Sergeant (E-6). Andrew is planning on going into the military, as well, but hasn’t decided whether he’ll go Army or Air Force. Once his braces come off (you can’t go to basic training with braces on), he’ll start doing some soul-searching to figure all of this out.
SKIFF (Soldiers’ Kids Involved in Fishing Fun) trips are provided free of charge to families whose children are separated from a parent due to that parent’s military service, thanks to the Austin Fly Fishers and a network of supportive individuals from all over the U.S. All it takes is a phone call from a parent to me at 254-368-7411 to reserve a date. SKIFF is open to children in elementary and middle school, as well as teens in high school.
