But it was this line that caught my eye: "We stayed out on the lake until sunset, Grandpap reeling in a string of monstrous bass while I caught six pounds of flotsam and pneumonia." That perfectly sums up my lifetime experience with fishing in a single sentence, which I guess makes us brothers from another mother. ;)MikeWJ at Too Many Morningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05357719098554598893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904287205964455973.post-51584662710630301022010-04-26T08:30:38.149-07:002010-04-26T08:30:38.149-07:00I love stuff like this.

I do the same, quite often, so I'd better love it when others do it!<br /><br />All kidding aside, I truly enjoy such reminiscing. And the photo of your grandfather is superb. He looks like a man who is supremely happy in that moment.Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904287205964455973.post-76911122536919083922010-04-25T09:59:01.976-07:002010-04-25T09:59:01.976-07:00My grandparents used to take us fishing.
