4 Years...In Memory Of My Dad!
It was 4 years ago tomorrow morning I lost my Dad suddenly. The 21st of May is always tough for me since and each year, on the 21st of May, I do the one thing that helps me through.....I go fishing in honor of my Dad because I think that is the one thing he would want me to do most at such a time. So I venture out in the morning, this year with my buddies Slingah and Joey G, and hope for favorable conditions and maybe a nice fish.....one I can think maybe my Dad put on the hook for me! 
Tomorrow is in honor of a great Father, forever missed.  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Larry, hope you get your 50 in memory of Dad. It would make it ever so bittersweet.  |

Larry,
I hope you have a GREAT day in honor of your dad!
I hope to get to the beach with you soon when school is FINALLY done !!!
Maybe then I'll finally be able to finish painting my Bigfish/Raider plugs and catch something LARGE from the sand with them!!!
But till then, go catch that 40-50 lb fish in honor of your dad! |

There's nothin like dads. It's tough to be truly empathetic when your dad is still around. I can't even begin to think about that sorrow. I'm sure he is proud of you and your unbelievable new plug making skills!

Glad you had such a great day Larry...like Rappin Mikey said....I also can't imagine that sorrow, I'm sure you made him proud....I remember my Dad waking me up early in the morning to go trout fishing...times that I will never forget....Stuff like this makes me try even harder to be the best Dad I can for my kids.

My dad was a suit wearing bank executive who only went fishing with me because it was something I enjoyed doing. He passed away suddenly in 1987. The fondest fishing memory I have with my father was freshwater fishing here in town and him catching a small bass. He was using one of my spinning combos and I remember him holding the rod upside down and reeling it in backwards. The thought still brings a smile to my face.
Nice job BF.
