Great memories fishing/hunting with parents or kids....

Good shite

Where to start....

One of my most memorable was when I shoot a buck and we looked and tracked and brought the dogs out to try and find him to no avail. He walked over to the side of the blood trail and said, "hey come over here, I think I found some more blood" and pointed to the deer and I flipped out and jumped into his arms cause I was so happy. Something I will never forget.

Mixed memories with my dad. He spent most of his time getting us un-hung, or baiting hooks. He would get cranky near the end...but took us to some nice places to fish. Millwood Res. in Arkansas, Toledo Bend. Had an uncle that was a professional fisherman, preferred to go with him.

I think I've shared this on here before...

But my dad and I were at ends all throughout high school... Too similar, I guess. When I got into college some of that kind of melted away. My dad and I have the same birthday, so for our birthday one year I got us a guided trip to Lake Fork. The night before, staying at the little marina motel, I told my dad for the first time that I was proud of him and how much I cared about him. (He built himself up from nothing, not getting into all of that here.)

So the next day we didn't really catch much. In fact, my dad didn't catch anything. I caught 4 I think, largest being a 5-3. The look on his face when I lipped that fish said it all.
