Happy Father’s Day - Daryl B's Barbs and Backlashes

[holdemplyer]

I will probably be in trouble, because I did not post anything to pay tribute to Mom on Mother’s Day. Sorry. But today is Father’s Day and I was just thinking of all the time I have spent fishing with my Dad and Granddads. If you forgot to get your dad or granddad something for Father’s Day, well I can think of nothing better than taking him, maybe them, fishing!
Dad with an 9-inch+ redear caught this spring in Nebraska.

Grandpa Bauer with some nice catfish and a big walleye taken in Nebraska, maybe Lake McConaughy in its early days?

Gramps Roth with some Snake River trout.

Now you know why I am the way I am (wink).
Thanks Dad.
Gramps and Grandpa, I miss fishing with you guys, think of you often.
I will always be a fisherman . . .
It’s not something I do, it is who I am . . .
Fishing is not an escape . . .
It is where I belong, where I am supposed to be . . .
It is not a place, but a lifelong journey . . .
It is a passage my father showed me, and that I will show others . . .
When you understand all of this, you will know me, and we will fish together
