I sure miss my Dad

[Bonito]

Today, I did something to my daughter, that my Dad use to do to me. We went fishing early this morning. ( In the fog ) Lauren was throwing a 1/4 Oz. Johnson Sprite Gold Spoon, her go to lure and I was throwing a top warter 7MR Mirolure. On Lauren's second cast, she got a nice blow up. I immediately cast my Top about 2 feet behind the blow up. One twitch and I was hooked up. She got totally pizzed. I laughed and landed a 17 1/4" Spec.. We both landed several more fish in the next 20 minutes or so. I re-tied my Plug and was sitting there, patiently watching Lauren, acting as though I was messing witht my lure. She got hit, struck at the fish and missed him. I cast the Morolure right behing her Plug and Lauren shouted " Quit, Dad". 2 Ttitches and I was hooked up. She shouted, "That's B S, Dad. That was my fish". As I was fighting a 18 3/4" trout to the boat, she continued to ream me out for stealing her fish.

My Dad use to do the same thing to me when I was a teen ager. My Dad died when I was 19. He ues to laugh so hard when he stole my trout. I got just as pizzed as Lauren got at me today. I sure wish Dad was still here today stealling my trout.

Call you Dad's and tell them how much you love them.

Fortunate enough to still have my dad to hunt and fish with. Very Grateful for that.
Unfortunate to have lost my little girl fishing partner about 6yrs ago when she was 6. How she loved to fish. I wish I could hear her laugh one more time when she hooked a fish.
Cherish the ones you love and make life long memories with them as often as you can.
When they are gone those memories all we have.
