Well J.D. was the youngest fisherman weโ€™ve ever had on board the Irish Raider. This little man will definitely be an outdoorsman like his father & Grand Father!! He hung out in his back pack watching the rest of the crew catch the lake trout. Totally awesome to have John Luke, Chrissy, Casey and Arielle out this evening to put the hammer down on some nice fish!! You guys rocked it!! Weโ€™re On Fish!! Irish Raider Outfitters โ˜˜๏ธ ?
