Super User FryDog62 Posted October 20, 2015 Super User Posted October 20, 2015 Good answer! Chase bronzebacks on the upper Mississippi ~ My dad and hero turned 87 two months ago and we celebrated by fishing for smallmouth on Mille Lacs - and had a great day. Fast forward to October and he was diagnosed with Leukemia. Who knows what next year will bring, but he elected to get out and fish one more time this season - and it was a great day with 35 fish caught, an average of 18 inches, and a couple at/near 20. A day I will never forget ~ 25 Quote

Super User kickerfish1 Posted October 21, 2015 Super User Posted October 21, 2015 Praying for the best. Kudos to you and your pops on the fish! Quote
Super User FryDog62 Posted June 18, 2016 Author Super User Posted June 18, 2016 Those were the last fish my dad ever caught as he moved on to "better waters" yesterday. Hard to be planning his funeral over Father's Day weekend - but dad, we fished right up until the end! You taught me to fish and how to live life the right way. Rest in peace, Senior FryDog -- 7 Quote

Super User Ratherbfishing Posted June 24, 2016 Super User Posted June 24, 2016 This truly is NOT to minimize things but they say that we are ALL going to..."shuffle off this mortal coil" someday. Some just have a clearer picture of WHEN. I hope your dad draws in every moment that this life has to offer!!!! Oh, I'm terribly sorry. I hadn't seen the later update. I am sorry for your loss. Hope you get another chance to fish with him again someday!!!! Quote
