Solid Buddies...

My best buddy at work is a good dude. One of the best fishermen I have ever known. He's got a standing invation for us on his boat. Well, he really like my little boy and helped him catch his first fish several years ago when he was 3 or 4. He even calls his the 1st mate on his boat (My boy has driven the boat, I have not .) Unfortunately, he's had some health (back) problems, and has come to the realization that he limited in the fishing he can now do.

Well, they've been doing a remodel at his house and he has been cleaning out a bunch of stuff. This includes streamlining a bunch of his tackle. He always says, "I have a enough stuff at home, I could open up my own cabelas." He told me the other day, "I have a box for your son." Not that much, but enough to get him started in the gear world.

Well he brought it to work yesterday and it was awesome. I gave it to the kid last night and he was stoked. We're mostly fly fishers at our house, but I'm not opposed to any technique that will bring fish to hand.



He'll never see it, but this thread is to say, "Thanks Buddy, you're awesome!!"
