Just thought I would share a memorable Father's Day....this one was a bit solemn as its my Dad's first Father's Day without my Mom who passed on October 24th last year after a battle with cancer....Was a great day that Dad, My Son, and I got to spend together....

Dad and Lad rods....

Awesome! Haven't seen a stringer of eyes like that in a long time. That's great, I remember being the same age as your son with the same stringer of fish me and my pa caught. Fond memories.

IB-OMG how could you kill the fish!

I agree BG....I haven't had a stringer like that in along time myself....in 2 years I might have another chance at it :)

Remember I have said we release 99% of the fish we catch?.....this is the 1% :) that were unlucky.....

Actually this is my Step-Dad he is a really great man, and a great role model for those guys who marry a single Mom. I was a lucky kid in that I had 2 Dads, both who are/were avid outdoorsmen. My Biological Father passed away a couple years ago...

Boys need Dads to show them the ropes in all facets of life....and fishing is a pretty dang important one:)

Thanks for the kind comments guys.

I'm not kidding here, when I looked at the pic of the raw fillets in the stainless steel bowl, something triggered in my brain and I could smell the fish!!!!

Congrats Lefty. I cannot think of a better way for 3 Generations to spend Father's Day. ( Or any day as a matter of fact)

NHO.

Great story Lefty. Days like the one you showed here are where the passion at The Fishin Hole come from. Your post shows how fishing can unite friends and family no matter what the circumstances or age of those involved. Keep up the great photos as well, some of those shots were fantastic. Father's day or any day you just showed how nothing beats a day out on the water with a rod in hand.
