The finality of leaving this life is the empty vessel left with those still here. I can't possibly know what you're feeling but last fall I reconnected with a guy who I worked with for several years in my early 20's. He was always around, Bass fished, I was doing Saltwater fishing. Every once in a while we would fish together though. Well he decided to Crappie fish so I now had someone with the same respect to fish with. We made 2 trips this spring, smoked the crappie both trips, and the NIP tide was coming around again so I was thinking of calling him while working in my shop when the phone rang. I grabbed the phone up and said; "Hey Bud, I was just thinking to call you, the NIP tide is on top of us." His wife was on the other end, didn't even get a word in waiting for me to finish my greeting. Of course He passed away from a heart attack while mowing his grass. Its been 6 months or so now, I was used to seeing him infrequently, but knowing he was around and the finality of knowing we will never fish together again keeps returning to my thoughts.

A day missed fishing we can never get back, I still go, by myself as always, but enjoyed the trip Bon Temps and I made last Monday very much. I personally like the solitude of single pole fishing for crappie unlike Saltwater fishing where 4 guys are on the boat. Now I find I like company crappie fishing too, maybe not every trip but it was just Fun. Life is always teaching some kind of lesson it seems.

Well said John….I am only 57 and can’t believe the number of folks I knew in my youth who are now deceased.

Y’all are really harshing my vibe. . Good thing I never liked nobody anyhow.

Got all cocky and went this am before work counting on another quick 28 and got popped in the mouth. Managed only 5 with. BF of 1.80

Since I fish no further north than Ross Barnett is a BF 1.80 on Grenada lake small? We catch that big in Lock 1.

No 1.80 is maybe a little higher than average. I’d say anything around 2.50 is a “big fish” for me. Realistically a 3.00 is a head turner and north of 3.50 is a show stopper. Biggest fish I’ve seen in person is 4.1 but I saw a video of a 4.34 that was released.

Dang son, what time do you go to work? I usually have an hour or two in at work before it starts to get light outside
