His fishing plans are usually ruined by work or family obligations. When he finally makes it out, he's usually alone because he just happens to get a random opportunity to go. Sh@t constantly goes wrong or there's no bite, but he smiles through it all... he's just happy to finally be out there.

Kinda poking fun at myself here.
This is my Dad to the T. I used to be the exact opposite always stressed out about putting fish in the box. But each year I find I am enjoying my time on the water more and more by stressing less about whether or not we ate catching limits.

The ironic thing is that I usually have more success on the laid back trips that we are mainly just out there trying to have fun than the ones that I am hell bent on catching fish.

I hope in the near future I can be more like my dad while fishing and enjoy each and every minute that I am lucky enough to be fishing, especially while he is out there with me.
