That is a great story, Joe! Congrats to Mike and to you both on a great day. Enjoy your time together as we never know when our last trip might be.
One of my close friends, lost their 14 year old son to brain cancer a year ago. This kid was full of life and always smiling, even during his sickness. He loved fishing and would always ask me how I did when I saw him, and want to how I caught 'em and any pic's? About a month before he got too sick to go, we went to a local lake and caught some fish together, and just talked. As he sat there with his hairless head covered with his baseball hat staring out at the lake, he told me,"This is what I'm going to miss the most." I took a picture of him with a bass he caught and gave it to him. He died about a month and a half later, with that picture beside his bed. Sometimes when I'm having a crappy day, I think about him, and that day, and it makes me smile. Enjoy your time out, and dont always make it just about fishing. I miss ya Mike!
