Hi Fellas...
I was looking thru some older photos, since I can't go fishing with the weather, and ran across this gem.. It was the last time I got to fish with my Dad..
October 2002, he would pass away 2 months later..
The old man taught me just about everything I needed to know about fishing, life, love, God & country. We had some great talks while wetting a hook and got into quite a few heated disagreements over stuff, but always parted ways with a hand shake and a hug.
He was a Navy pilot during WW2, stationed in Hawaii after the attack on Pearl Harbor, came home and kept flying as a pilot with Piedmont Airlines and retired as a dispatcher, but never did understand how a helicopter stayed in the air, nor would he ever fly with me....
We did catch our share of fish, lost a lot of lures & jigs and survived one boat wreck.....
Happy belated Father's Day to all the Dads that put us youngin's on the right path....![]()
Its great to go back thru old photos from time to time. Sounds like your father was a great man. Happy Fathers Day.
