Its always a hoot to watch him try to out fish his old man, but I've not slowed down enough to have him catch me just yet; although he has come close a few times.

He has poured some of my Ledge Runner Baits and I've walked him through building his first custom rod. We've blasted down Sunday River trails a few weekends and Jay Peak a time or two, it never gets old and I treasure the time we get to spend together. At 29, he's not my little boy anymore, but we both get younger when we are spending time together.

Awesome Bob. Thanks.
