    Default I値l just put this here... I値l call it retirement goals


    So, this is a condensed log of the entirety of my grandfathers fishing career during retirement. He is a numbers guy and keeps track of everything, so this is a little backstory for the records he keeps.

    I should say that he is still living and well but semi retired from fishing and has moved from where he caught all these fish (Florida). He痴 92 years young and a GREAT man and even better Grandpa.

    I thought most would enjoy this condensed version of his fishing calendars throughout the years. He tracked where he went, who went with him, and total fish he kept for the freezer.

    He is fully aware this seems like fiction and he doesn稚 want to seem boastful of anything like that. He just loves to keep up with things and it a very sharp man. I think this is amazing record keeping and something we might all consider doing.

    Impressive! He must really like to eat fish to keep that many fish.

    Nice history, thanks for sharing it with us. I'm glad he's still doing well. I had a friend who fished all of the time and he lived to be a hundred. He had a saying "for every day you fish, you live a day longer" I guess he was right. His son's took him fishing for his hundredth birthday.
