That's awesome! Prior to me nobody in my family really fished/hunted. I hope to make some memories like that with my kiddos!

Thinking it would take some time to best Pop's fish in that photo, but you could do the same pose with a small ditch pickle you can catch  Lol Western here is NP circa early '70s. Pop taught me all the tricks.  
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

Cool old pic. Your Granddad would be glad to know that his beloved Crème worm still catches just as many fish today as they did 50+ years ago. Its still one of the most versatile worms ever made and I always have a few packs in the boat. Heck some of them are even older than me. As a matter of fact I am going to throw a purple and white Crème tomorrow just because of this thread.

Thanks guys. My Granddaddy used to catch big ones like that pretty regularly. Put their heads on fence posts around his house. He used a Zebco 404 and Creme worms with the hook exposed. Drove my uncle crazy. He used to try to give him lessons, saying "Pop, why don't you get a good reel? Pop, let that worm go to the bottom-you're reeling too fast!" Pop would just say, "Go look at my fence posts, boy." And that is how the 'cow ate the cabbage'...Great pic NP. Thanks so much for sharing. And like already stated, that is a heckuva big bass for back then. Looks like maybe 8 lbs or so.

Lol EK I caught that one on lake Murvaul with my Dad and uncle (who are in the first picture). Pop wasn't there but he and my other grandfather both saw it after I caught it. It weighed 8 1/4 lbs on the local grocery scale. They were real proud of me and I'll never forget that fish. My Dad mounted it for me and I have it on my wall to this day. My uncle told the story of the catch over and over again. I was one excited little dude. My middle brother was the real bass fisherman. A big bass back then was anything over 5 lbs. He caught more of them than you can count. He still fishes to this day but mostly on the coast for specks and reds now. I have caught a few bigger bass since the Florida strain was introduced but that one stands out. Anything over 8 lbs back then was a true monster. IDK what the one Pop caught weighed but it was one of those monsters. Lots of great fishing memories in our family.

Put in his 20 all over the world including Viet Nam, Korea, and bunch of other places. Confidence was not an issue for him. Neither was worrying about what anyone might think about his attire.

Great pics. Thanks for a glimpse what was obviously a great time in your life.
