Great stuff, congrats John & Liam.

Way to go, Liam. I wish I would have left home sooner, so I could have seen it first-hand.

Congrats to both Dad and son for Liam coming into his own as a fisherman. An event you'll both remmeber for a lifetime.

Now there will be a long time of both of you holding your own . Then inevitably the time will come when Liam has to start grabbing the leader for his dad , then maybe casting the heavy stuff out for him , etc.
