old pics

This is one of the coolest threads there’s been in a long time.

Finally found this old jewel! I’d say I was 10 -12 ish! My neighbor took me this trip and I remember he was surprised in my casting abilities, which I credited my Granddad! I remember this trip like it was last week! Those fish had me fall in love with salt water fishing. Never felt a fish pull that hard before! Good times!

Larry, ya’ll didn’t look dirt poor.

DF says your mom was hot.

We never missed a meal, but we ate a whole lot of seafood :smiley:

My mom was pretty hot back then! She’s 85 now. Here’s one more. Tybee Island 1956.
