Sorry about your loss wayne. Great post. Even at a mere 94 years, life is short. I'm glad you were able to take you dad out 1 last time. Get's me to think I ought to do the same thing now.. . Why wait, right?

Enjoy the week. See you out on the water.

Great post. Just one more is I can say.

Thanks for sharing. As my dad got older and more debilitated, it took a lot of work to get him on the water, (or near the water). I wouldn't give away those moments for any price.

Great story!! Reminded me of my great grandma who out fished me with a cane pole until she was 97 years old... Thanks

WOW!
To think that I almost didn't open this thread...boy am I glad I did.
I can totally relate. A couple of years ago I bought my 68 year old father in law a yak and I now fish with him every time I go...Sometimes he's an ornery pain in the _ _ _ to deal with but at the end of the day I always think to myself that someday he won't be around for me to enjoy. This story really puts things into perspective for me.

What a great and heartfelt story! Thanks for sharing!

Hunters Pa · 01-21-2013, 07:22 PM

Wishhad one more fish with my dad. Some things get more important as time goes by.

Bennyblanco · 01-21-2013, 08:34 PM

I know when I get older that there's a guy like you,that can take me fishing

Thanks for sharing

I'm sure the above use of my picture of Big Rich for an avatar was thought of as a compliment by someone who did not take the time to think it out. So let's have a teaching moment in regard to use of pictures on any website. Those that think the personal use of others family (or fishing) pictures without permission is doing them a favor might want to take time to consider that most people would take this as an insensitive act and an invasion of privacy. It is not appropriate to use others family members (especially women and children) for a personal avatar. Just because someone shares a picture they took does not imply permission for use or make it part of the public domain. All of my photos are copyrighted and legally may not be used without permission, a by line, and often a fee. Please do not use any of my photos for your personal use. Thank you.
