Thank you everyone for the kind words and especially the prayers. He and his brother passed on their love of fishing to me and my cousins. Now, my Dad and Uncle Leo are together again checking out some awesome fishing holes in heaven.
I was fortunate to have a special father/son relationship with my Dad. Even when he was nearing the end, he loved talking about our many fishing adventures...many of which, let’s be honest...weren’t very successful in terms of limits caught, but were awesome memories nonetheless.
He did ask me one question I plan on addressing this spring. He said, “Why didn’t we go fishing more often?” Well, the quick answer I told him was the crappie fishing at Smithville the last couple of years has sucked! The long answer we decided was that life just happens.
Lesson learned: Call a friend, teach a child (or grand child), take the trip, wet the line, make up the story and laugh your butt off in the process, because life is short...and a bad day fishing is still better than a good day at work!
Thanks again. Now...when is crappie camp this year? I’m ready!!!!!!
I believe in catch and release.....right into the grease!!!!!
Prayers for Mark and family.
