Vonbonfire as a dad

[japetus]

I spent a good amount of time in montauk as a kid trout fishing. Cleaning them right on the shore and grilling them.

When i was in early teens, someone had the bright idea to stock one of the lakes in north texas with rainbow trout, so i went up there like i would in missouri. Salmon eggs and 6 pound test.

The rest of the Texans came out with their catfish poles, hotdogs and 12 pound test. Everyone says trout are smart fish, but it was a butcherfest. The muddy texas lakes prevented the fish from seeing the lines and the bigger test let you pull them out of the water when you hooked them.

Many such cases. I live about a mile from the Mississipi River, so I hold no contempt toward catfish/drum/gar fisherman. I just tend to enjoy crappie fishing, and the ocassional bass that chases.

Oh i did catch various things on it. Im tempted to buy another and go fishing with it lol

I could see just see your hulking frame take a lil tykes car and your kid fishing pole down to the lake....people might look at you funny but I bet they wouldn't say anything.

That lake I posted a pic of is about a mile from the mississippi by the way the water flow....you could canoe or boat to it from there.

Man I had a couple of Zebco’s growing up. Had no idea fishing had a much deeper pool of skill and knowledge for the guys into it.

I was a grown man working a job when I first learned that dudes fished without a cooler full of beer. Renaissance men.

If daughter came home with a young fella that claimed to play guitar, I think the only deal breaker would be “John Mayer is my favorite guitar player.” That would be tough on dear old dad (me).

Thing is that's likely the BEST you're going to get with the current crop. Machine Gun Kelly?

You’re lucky to even be a Dad after that drone flew into your crotch as a child

You ain’t kidding. Probably be some rap stuff, which they’ve even figured out how to make rap sound whiny and bitchy.
