    Default What makes a good trip?


    I recently took my WW II Battle of the Bulge friend on a trip to Old River. We were joined by 2 other crippled up old farts and looked like escapees from the geriatric ward of a mental hospital. It was the first time in a while he was able to make a trip and he is only good for about 3 hours. We caught a few small bass and bream but no sac au lait. We laughed a lot and retold a bunch of old stories. At the landing I told him I wished we could have found a few. He said, "I would like to have a few but that's not why I came. I'm afraid this will be my last trip. I don't think I can climb in and out of the boat any more. I want you to know I thank God every day that I have friends who will put up with an old man and take me wherever I want to go whenever I can. Most people don't have that. I feel like the luckiest man in the world."

    Best trip I ever had.

    I have never been on a bad fishing trip.....sometimes i catch fish.....sometimes i dont. Sometimes i fish with friends.....sometimes by myself. But they are always good trips.
    I have spent most my life fishing........the rest I wasted.

    Fishing doesn't make the trip, what you just posted did! Thanks for the great read.

    Great story, it's not always about how many fish you catch but the time spent with friends and family.
