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.

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!
