"Kace has been coming out fishing since he was in a car seat," says Kyle. mentioning the family tries to get out to their ice shack every weekend.
This is the biggest fish Kace has ever caught, and couldn't stop talking about it the rest of the day, Kyle told BayToday.
"It's in the freezer now and it will be dinner tonight," he chuckled.
