Caleb Caldwell, left, 13, his dad Joe Caldwell, and cousin Riggs Caldwell, 12, get ready to unload after a day of bass-fishing on the Mississippi River on Wednesday, July 28. The family traveled from Bainbridge, Indiana for their first TBF Junior World Championship tournament and their first time on the Mississippi, which had “way bigger fish“ than their normal fishing spots.
