My dad didn't come fishing with me for the first time ever
 

I called him up last night to see if he would like to take a ride to the canal, he said no. He is 82, had his hips replaced and drives my mum for treatments to Rhode Island every day (Foxboro to Providence and back).
I told him he was getting old, he said yep (first time he ever said that too). He still fishes with his old bamboo J.C Higgins.
Didn't miss much, 2 26" on bait. I think I'm taking a break until the new moon tides (my back isn't what it used to be, real bad). Gas prices suck.

would your dad have said that at your age??

get out there! fish! enjoy!
