Pops here... thanks so much for all of the really nice comments! I'm so sorry to also hear that many have lost their fathers. I know how fortunate I am to be able to do this with Jon... and especially as he was taking it easy on me! I'm truly so proud of what Jon is doing with this channel and how much effort he pours into making this come to life! And hey, I didn't realize that my tackle box was so vintage either until Jon showed me how he had paired his lures down to about a dozen in a sleek tackle case. I told him that he was being really "e-fish-ent"... Do make a point of getting outdoors and exploring nature with your loved ones! Be well. Pops

Ever since we began doing this around 2002, my older son documented each time with both film and photos and provided chosen background music for it. As time and age comes to pass, I have had to back away from it a little...so enjoy all this that you can. Your own videos are so well done and will be your own legacy. I've recommended these, along with those of Xander and Maxim to others. They are all well anticipated. It's great that we have that same kind of comradery as father and son together and that includes our weekends of moderate drinking in a rec room we created with a Northwoods type decor atmosphere. Thanks for taking us along on your trips.

You don't see them much anymore but they still work and I use them often. Some people may call them a "vintage" lure but I call them a "classic" . It was good to see a father and son spending quality time together, really enjoyed the show. I was also impressed you were still carrying a Hula Popper, another "classic"!
