    Default getting older!!


    Went fishing today.I only caught six and lost a big pike. In years gone by ,I probably would have been disapointed. It's not about what I caught,but what a great time I had. No one on the water except me and HIM. I got to enjoy HIS world and trying to find where I belong. I have to admit I tried to soak it all in. At my age another fishing trip is hoped for but not a promise. I used to mope around and think I wasn't a good fisherman and I never wanted to throw one back......Now, its fun to release them and hope to catch them later. I have been fishing this pond since I was 12 and that is a LOOOONNNGGGG time. It's like the pond is brand new and I am a kid again. Thinking, learning,and just enjoying the great outdoors. Does this come with getting older? If so I am enjoying it more than some of the more produdtive trips I have been on. Hope I have more trips in the future. If not....".Then SIR you don't owe me anything."I hope everyone has a Great Thanksgiving. Don't forget who's doing the giving...........crappie1133

    God bless you sir, very well said. I wish you many more trips and a Happy Thanksgiving as well! And yes I would agree, with age we gain more appreciation for the little things in life. I consider myself blessed with great family, friends, fishing and the outdoors. The older I get the more I appreciate the Lord's generosity.

    I am almost 70 and feel the same way. Maybe as we get older we realize how precious life is and really how short it is. I have given up deer hunting the trill of the kill is not there anymore so that takes care of that. Fishing is catch and release or keep a few for a meal. Nothing is promised remember that guys. Happy Thanksgiving to all.
