Back in the day.
 

I did not catch my first fish until I was almost 5.
I did not catch my first halibut until I was 7.
I did not drive the family boat until I was 13.
I did not catch my first albacore until the age of 14.
I did not catch my first dorado until I was 16.
I did not work on a sport fishing boat until I was 18.
WOW I did not do much as a child.

I lost my first foot at the age of 69.
I lost the second foot at 71.
I lost a lot of stuff between 18 and 71.

I will build my 4th boat at the age of 71.
I will fish Baja with it until I die.
I might die fishing.
Happy, lucky me.
I was born.
I will die.
A FISHERMAN.

I have a pic of my very first fish at the age of 4, Detroit Lakes off the dock, sunfish.:D

Yep some of us started early, its in our blood. Tight Lines amigos.

Well Bob, I think that's what they call "coming full circle." Sounds like a pretty good life so far. Hoping many more fish in your future!

You are a trooper Bob!! :cheers1::notworthy:

I don't think you should be sad and preparing to die. Everybody has found their way in fishing, I'm just starting it and I like it.

Daniel you miss judge me. I am happy and celibrating my Second Wind. Too many my age have given up and packed it in. Myself I rather build another boat and fish and explore Baja's fine fisheries. I am using this build to help others and my self to continue to Live the lif you love AND love the life you live. I WILL NOT Give up, life changes and we change withit. Dare to DREAM and then figure a way to make those dreams come true. I have found through the loss of 2 feet from daibetes that the only limits we have in life are those we place on ourselves. AND those that Fish and Game place on us. YES I am old school. Tigh lines amigos.

Man I really hope I make it down to your spot in Baja this year to meet you and some others that are always raving about it.

John you haven't changed .... killing flat fish for decades!
