A Small Mouth Bass or Trout?

It's been almost a year since our son and his family moved to Virginia from DC. We see them now almost as much as we saw them here - and they used to live just down the street from us. We have visited their new hometown twice and plan to go again next month. It's a four hour plus ride by car and requires an overnight. Things are certainly different there than here. Our grandson has taken up fishing. Living along the James River must make one think of things like that. We used to fish in a small pond in Florida as youngsters using dough balls and bamboo rods. But we never caught anything that could even be considered a meal. It seems the young man is getting the hang of it and every time we see a picture the catch is getting bigger starting with a trout and a small mouth bass. They have even prepared the fish for dinner - or should I say - snack? He's been told by the locals that he needs to get out there early in the morning for better results. With school out now and baseball season in full swing I'm not sure how much longer this new found hobby will last. It's certainly not something he did with any regularity here, but it sounds like a relaxing way to pass the time - not something you hear about much in these parts.
