THAT is what it is all about!!! You 'da MAN!!!
Glad you have a fishing buddy, keep him interested and you'll make his life better by far. One of my biggest regrets is that I met my wife later in life, and she already had 3 kids. 14, 16, 18 years old and rarely want to spend time with us. I'd give a million dollars for moments like you just shared. Thanks!!
