Carl Kraus, 14, of Copperas Cove, Texas, had something exciting happen when he visited his grandparents, Paul and Linda Becker, of Courtland Township, this past summer. Carl caught his first fish ever—a 15-inch bass in Scram Lake! He was very excited and proud of his first catch, especially when grandpa left the lake empty-handed! Congratulations, Carl, you made the Post Catch of the Week!
