Waitin’
You had to wake him up 3 times just to get in the truck to head to the water. You bought him Pepsi, but it turns out he prefers Coke. You swing through McDonald’s, and he orders a chicken biscuit, but it’ll be 10 minutes before they’re ready. You talk him into a Sausage McMuffin and head down the road.

You pull into line at the boat ramp 9 boats deep. Any urgency usually put…

A release could be leaky waders or faulty spinning reels or lousy internet service or duck ID posts…

We made normal small talk about how each other’s days were, lunch, pretty girls, the usual. We stopped for an Icee, and it wasn’t until we pulled up to the bank of the creek that he exclaimed . . . “Dad, are we going fishing? WHY?” Why? Why are we…
