Once again my son comes through with the catch of the day. A nice American Shad...something else to add to the list a species caught!! I cast the line out a few feet from shore for him, he turned the handle a couple times and the set it by my feet haha. A few minutes later I saw the line go tight and told him to come grab it. He started to reel and as it came close to the surface I noticed it
