I took my 74 year old grandfather fishing yesterday. It was his first time throwing topwaters for bass. I tied on a heddon torpedo for him and in a few casts he landed this one... the first of many that day!

as TD says,

I lost my grandfather this spring. I got to take him for a very nice boat ride 2 days before he passed. All of you looking at this post, if you have a dear elder near to you.. take them out... They dont have to catch a fish like the one above. Just get them in a boat!

I miss you gramps!

That is awesome!!

Dietz I know where you are comming from on that. I am losing my dad to cancer right now. He is in no shape to go in a boat any more and has lost the use of his left arm and leg. I wish I could go fishing with him one more time! Never say I will do it later because when something as fragile as a human life is involved this may be the last chance you have! I now take extra time to spend with family and make sure they know how much I care about them. it is better to think of the times you had rather than the ones you wish you had!!!!
