Tribute to a friend

[Paul D]

Roc, great thread !! I don't know how old you are but I'm just about 60 here. In my younger years it was about catching lotsa' fish or big ones. I find that now the best about the sport is fishing with friends, rehasing past memories, remembering those who can no longer fish with us, holding onto and making new memories. I am thankful for all those I've met through fishing and all those I will meet. Wishing good health to your friend and to all fishermen that we fish with. Tight Lines !
