Thought it would be fun on Dad’s day to reflect on some cool kid moments. Some of the best days of my life have been as a father and a son - regardless of the catch.
Add a few photos if you like!
Son with a 45" bonnethead - after a 20 minute fight!
Getting a tagged red - and a shirt he wears proudly!
Meg’s tagged red - our second one of the day!
Getting up waaaaaay early! Cold, tired…
but hooked up…
and quite happy!
A little teaching along the way. (I know Dad, I KNOW!)

Happy Father’s Day to all!

Happy Father’s Day to you Vin and all he other Dads out there. Here is an old pic but one we still laugh about because it was the first “shark” ever caught by either of my boys and my youngest still brags to his older brother that he caught the first shark.
Good topic Vince. Here are some of my memories. Most are of Ian, as Jake isn’t as excited about fishing so doesn’t come along near as much as I would like…
Our first redfish ever
You’ve seen this one before
Edit: Just showed this to Momma and she got all verkempt
PP - it was something like 24#. Jr fought it like a champ. We pulled anchor and landed it about a mile away! Fun day…
I don’t want to hijack this thread, but this is the biggest one I have seen, caught by my buddy Ken with a broken collar bone! Fought it chicken-wing style! We didn’t get a weight, but it had to be close to the state record. Caught at Castle Pinckney. His daughter during the fight “Oh, Daddy, you’re SO BRAVE” Ha Ha
My son and I have had some good times fishing over the past fews years. He is a little older now and more into surfing and girls but still likes to fish occasionally with his dad. Going to try and take him this week and put that fishing fire back in him. Here is some of his past work…
I know Dad, I KNOW!
