My BEST Memory

[@eliasbarnes3710]

Nothing beats the old days we just lived life.

[@nileswillis7992]

Absolutely this.

[@dinebonte4014]

What a Wonderful memory! Great story! I am a child of the 50s, 60s and 70s and your right, much better times!

[@nileswillis7992]

70's, 80's and 90's checking in.

[@Unentitled54]

You know, my favorite memory is with my mom. I was born in 1954, and in the late 50's early 60', in the winter when we got a heavy snow, my mom would bundle us 3 girls up in our snow suits and late at night, usually around midnight, she would take us on a walk to see the snow sparkle under the moonlight. We never worried about crime back then. After our walk, she'd make us a nice hot bowl of oatmeal and then get us ready for bed. Spending that time with my mom meant the world to me. I wish my mom was still here ( she passed in 1999), and anytime we get a heavy snow, I think back to those special times when life was carefree. We may lose the ones we love, but thank goodness for our memories. I'm glad you got the pictures of your trophy fish... great story Kevin. ❤

[@Jesusistheway14750]

Amen! I love my quiet time with the Lord! Nothing beats it!

[@tishkerrville8942]

Thank you Kevin. It will NEVER go back to what it used to be. I feel sorry for all the children in this trashed out 🌏

[@lonewolfsurvival3453]

I think a lot about the past as well. Simpler times. Happier times that didn't involve as much gloom, doom and stress. Times when I was a little healthier, physically and mentally. People often say not to live in the past, but to look to the future. The thing is, if the future looks bleak to you, sometimes you can get some much needed comfort by reflecting on happy memories. Sure, eventually we snap out of it and find ourselves back to the present, with all the current issues, but we at least have the power to escape for a moment anyway. It's crazy how we take life for granted when we are younger, then often times as we get older we wish we could get back to those earlier times that we took for granted. My mom has a bunch of old home videos on VHS from when I was a kid. I recently got hold of a VCR and a VHS to digital converter, so I've been working on converting all those old home videos to digital so that I can watch them anywhere at anytime and share with others.

[@queserasera1674]

I sure enjoy these heart to heart talks. Thank you.

I really Miss the late Paul Harvey, such a Smart-Kind man with a Unique Voice that everyone Recognized. When his show ended, I felt a Void in my Life and I know that many others did as well-- I have talked to many about Mr. Harvey's Wisdom...

[@Craig-lz2xn]

I also fished with my family when I was younger. I have good memories of saltwater fishing trips in the '70s, and freshwater fishing later in the '80s. Like you, I am trying to renew my hobby of fishing. What an excellent way to sit in the sun and enjoy the Great Outdoors! Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@lynncrosley3679]

Beautiful memories, Kevin. Brought back some memories for me too. Thank you for he video

[@63birdseye]

Do things u always wanted to. Getting and old guitar restrung. My parents bought it for me when I was 10 yr. old. About time to really learn some songs on it. I'm 61 years old.

[@christinab7295]

Thank you for this video : ). Brings back memories - My Grandpa and I used to fish : ). I really need my husband to watch your videos - bc he too is fighting cancer (skin and lymph nodes). I really enjoyed your stories and the awesome fishing pics:)

[@lisae.s.johnson4197]

Prayers from Texas. I also miss my family. I grew up fishing with daddy. Happy memories. Nice to remember happier times. Good ol' days

[@Midgimoo99]

Wonderful vlog and beautiful photos of you with your big fish, Kev😃 It sure put a smile on my dial and sent me down memory lane. Best you get yourself some new line on your reel - you don't want it breaking when you're playing a rainbow! Fishing and freedom camping has featured big in our family too, but I've only fished once since my hubby was killed almost 9 years ago. My daughter has been fighting 2 types of cancer all year (🙏🏻🤞 successfully). They farm for a living but live to fish and hunt, as does her partner and their almost 5 yr old son. They got away for a few days fishing recently and my grandson was the only one in their group to bring one home for smoking. A 8.5lb rainbow - he's a strong farm lad but it was too heavy and lively for him to bring in & land but he tried hard & was rightfully so proud of himself, bless him ❤️ I'll be sure to give you as many nudges as it takes to get you out there again come your spring😃 Fishing is exciting and so good for the soul. We taught a number of disadvantaged kids to camp and fish. I often think of them and hope they've continued to do it in their adult lives. Does Bridgette fish? My first dates with first my ex husband and my late partner of 22 years, were a day out fishing😂 A Jenson Spinner is our favourite lure for lake fishing. What did you catch your biggies with?

[@Gigi-lk9pl]

That video was fantastic!! You have so much wisdom, and it always helps me. Maybe someday you could take the dialog from your videos and put it all in book form? That would be great and reach even more people. .. I will remind you to go fishing in the spring. 😄Fishing is wonderful and so relaxing. Thank you Kevin for another great video!!

[@vanessamccoy1475]

Good memories are wonderful to go back to. I used to fish with my Dad for trout also. Good times! The world is always trying to throw things at us to keep us fearful. I turn off all the electronics and step outside to listen to the quiet and nature and its a wonderful escape.

[@cathyrichard2739]

Will pray that you will get back to doing things that you love, like fishing! I feel the same way that you do about the sad condition this world is in!! God bless you!

[@Philippians--vz1mi]

I deal with bad depression too Kevin, I completely get it though, I'm much better since the Lord Jesus saved me. But.... Hey Kevin, why don't you grab those poles & take us trout fishing mate? I miss fishing with my dad, he died back in late 2013-2014, like you I miss him, be great to go fishing for all of us mate. Take care may God bless both yourself & Bridgette your beautiful dog too.

[@WendyMcconnaughy]

WOW that is so cool Kevin I'm a 68 year old woman I love fishing when I was younger in my 20 me and my boyfriend and children would go fishing we lived in Oregon I remember fishing for trout sturgeon and Salmon and fishing for salmon I remember it would take hours to reel that fish in but it's so exciting but your right now days it's so different it's sad my grandkids have gone fishing and came home with Papa with a bucket full of trout we cooked it I cleaned them of course lol but it brought BK such good memories and as a child we would camp with my parents those sure were the days thank you for bringing back great memories God Bless the both of you 🙏❤️

[@carolprince3281]

Kevin memories is all we have left and we need to hold on to them tightly, as a young girl I remember going to bed at night and we kept our door open and never worried about anything. Life was just so carefree in those days and families was so tight knit and spent time together but those days are behind us now, I have a lot of wonderful memories as well and I had such a great childhood and I dream of going back to visit those days. Kev cherish those memories as long as you can and hold them close to your heart because those times are such a special part of our lives, thank you so much for sharing that special memory with us and God bless.

[@mungodarkmatter]

I use to go fishing a lot when I was younger and have a lot of good memories of that. My older brother use to take me fishing every weekend. Unfortunately, he passed away. I miss him a lot and those were really good times. About 2018 or 2019, I went back to lake and the spots we use to fish at. For the first time in many years. It was nice just being there again, and I think about those times every time I drive by the lake. It would be great to see you go back to some of your old fishing spots again. I remember looking at those old fishing magazines too.

[@douglasphillips24]

I remember as a kid in early 80s when my dad was laid off we'd go camping out on river and catfish for week solid. We'd go catch our own lizard's in mountain creeks and cook hot dogs on fire while fire going at night sleeping in back of a pickup truck camper bed . I have very vivid memories of that life when we didn't have much, but we had each other and enjoyed God's outdoors. I still love to fish and hunt to this day and God willing enjoy many more trophy bucks or small mouth bass but most of all enjoy the outdoors. God bless man.

[@24LindseyTribett24]

Good evening Kevin and Bridget, congratulations on your engagement 💍 prayers 🙏 love's and hugs 🤗 to both of you. Give GiGi a hug for me.

[@155michaelx]

i have identical memories with my dad, i have been fishing since i was 10 years old and i am 57 now. i have 15 poles and 4 tackle boxes and i used to have 4 boats at one time, my dad and i went fishing alot during my childhood, and when he passed our old fishing spots were not the same without him.

[@janemarkham4133]

KEVIN, WE ARE LOOKING FOREWARD TO A FISHING TRIP WITH YOU , SOON I HOPE ! HAY, CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING MORE RELAXING !! GO WITH GOD BROTHER !!!! Howard, Jane & Simba Bell ! ~~ 😊🙃😉👌👍🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@Alan-x8p4l]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Kevin. My opinion is, get that kidney removed, heal up and get back to a normal life, the life you want and deserve. Have a blessed day and don't give up on things you love to do. 🙏😊👍

[@versatec1]

It’s a fallen evil world...Good memories are hard to come by...Oh well count thy blessings and keep moving forward towards eternity!😊❤️

[@theresedillon6717]

Those were good times, indeed!

[@djvelasquez2643]

I’m still holding on to all my memories of my childhood and don’t want to forget them or give them away. My earliest memory that I still hold onto is when I was 3 years old. Sitting on the high chair in the 80’s.

[@bdmenne]

Plato and Ted warned us about charismatic speakers, propaganda and technology. Life was best when we were globally ignorant and locally abundant.

[@markjg2275]

I am 64 my father died December 19, 2017, I miss him very much it does change your life forever. I cannot and do not enjoy Christmas anymore I dread it, I just hate winter anyways. I still enjoy trout fishing in my state of Colorado and if I am alive by next spring I plan to go fishing again with my brother. However, I noticed I do not care about much other things anymore and I slowed down a lot trying to relax more than my more stressful younger years of life. We just have to enjoy every day we wake up because every day you live is a day before you die.

[@cindygrochowski7422]

I feel sad for today’s youth that they are missing so much we grew up with: freedom to play outdoors, to run free in the fields and climb trees, .. to walk to school with classmates and friends, to swim off a dock, to help our parents with our backyard vegetable garden. We were lucky! Not all the organized stuff! Not online!

[@HarryJensen-kr4qz]

As far as cancer goes, I rotate fenbendazole, ivermectin and recently added Artemisinin (Sweet wormwood). They're all antiparasitic. (Also take fisetin to kill senescent cells). I don't go to an oncologist so can't say if they're helping.

[@deebee7746]

🙏❤🙏

[@davidjohnston1374]

I highly relate Kevin, I'm about 10 years older than you, 1960 model lol, and there were bad stuff happening back then, Vietnam war, Raegen vs Gorbachev in heated Nuclear standoffs but we weren't slammed with it back then as we only seen stuff on the evening News and that was it, back to the variety shows. Today, we are getting slammed with opinions on the Internet including KZbin and that's all it is, opinions, not real news as it can be edited to look like it's all real and now we've got AI, we won't know what's real vs a tube of toothpaste. I often feel for those bringing Children into this world right now, what kind of future will they have, I'm sort of glad that my family line, ends with me. My Nephew and his partner just had a baby boy 2 years ago, i think what will that little fella be doing in 2045, will there be a 2045? who the hell knows!! My Dad was also a very keen fisherman only ocean and salt water as we don't have a huge amount of freshwater like you have over there. I also remember love beach fishing with Dad wish my huge 10 foot beach rods and a huge spinner real with a bell sinker, used to catch flathead, bream, whiting and sometimes Snapper. When we had a boat, some of the snapper were near 5kg, they take a long time to grow that big, often over 20 years, a smaller snapper we call a Squire, both a great eating fish. We do have rainbow and brown trout but are introduced species from the USA, we have Bass, and we have huge freshwater Cod in the upper river systems. Like you, i've got my fishing gear up against a wall, the spiders have taken over mine, no fun now both parents are gone because my Mum enjoyed it as much as Dad, they would go to a holiday place in their caravan, catch their own live bait and then go fishing. I remember as a kid catching little poddy mullet on bread dough, they ended up as bait. I could write a book on the fishing adventures we did. Dad and his Brother used to go fishing up the coast, and he'd come home with a cooler box with about 12 Months worth of fish to eat, scaled, beheaded and cleaned ready for the freezer or pan. Them days are over, I do kind of wished I had a son I could teach all that stuff to but alas....never happened. Even though we're in a different Country, how about we get our shit happening, clean up and get our gear ready and go fishing and even if you end up in Iowa, I'm sure there'd be fishing somewhere around there, maybe even one of Bridgett's relatives might be looking for someone to go fishing with.......who knows!!

[@johnganshow5536]

I have more than 5 memories from childhood, but most of them involve abuse from my parents, so I try not to remember them...

[@CarefulSteps1]

all so true. i am thankful to have grown up decades ago when life was simple. i know we all just heard of the lady whose son was simply walking down the road to their small town.... and the mom got in trouble. yet, for many of us, we walked about a mile to our schools. no one thought anything of it, nor were we afraid someone would snatch us up. my hubs and i choose to watch the movie Christmas Story this time of year to be able to remember what life was like for us growing up. they really did do a good job in that movie showing what family life was like back then. so just agreeing w/you.... gotta find your own way of dealing w/this negative crap and all of the entitlement that is surrounding us... and for sure joining w/AI is one of the worst things we could do. may His peace be upon you, and may He light your path each day.

[@guadalupeperez2893]

Thanks for sharing Kevin. I will remind you to go fishing in April, can imagine the beauty of the rivers on spring.

[@MG2000MDPHD]

I find that extremely interesting Kevin. The Disciples were mostly fishermen! Oh, and I Love trout! They are my favorite!

Kevin, God wants us to love, so go find a way to be your Dad and go teach some kids who wish they had a Dad like you. When we love, we share, we grow closer to Him!

[@Alan-x8p4l]

It definitely is a little harder to get motivated in the winter time but finding an indoor hobby such as reading books, drawing, painting, and doing KZbin videos can help pass the time until spring 🌱 and summer 🌞.

[@silviatubausole4480]

Hi Kevin, Yes I was born in the seventies too and I miss the seventies and eighties. Hope you can fish again in spring. I cry sometimes when I hear some records that remind me my childhood. Good old days!! Hi to Bridgette. Stay safe and warm ❤❤

[@Madduckrc]

Alright man, where to start... when you mentioned about your fishing gear sitting around for years I had just came back from the garage and while there I was looking at all my fishing gear and the boat that hasn`t been used for years and I knew I had to comment to you for the first time. I have noticed our lives have sort of ran parallel at times, we seem to share quite a few of life experiences. Playing old vinyl from the 60s 70s and 80s has always been a go to stress reliever for me. So, that all said, I want you to know that you and yours are in our prayers. Together we can do this!

[@ChristineGagne-f2t]

Awesome video Kevin‼ I can relate... My most memorable experiences were about fishing with my Dad and spending hours with him. Every summer, we would go to Grandma's cottage (his Mom) on the St. Lawrence River. And other times, a couple of friendly experienced fishing guides would take us to the best spots in the province of Quebec and cooked, for us, our freshly caught trout on an open fire. 🐟🐟 Yum! And my Dad (like yours) was a really good fellow. Everyone loved him. And he always had a way to make you feel special. At the end of his life, he ended up (like yours) in a wheelchair👨‍🦽as both of his legs had to get amputated. However, he always remained positive. We miss him dearly and I do hope that someday, I can see him in heaven. Wishing you good luck, Kevin, with your fishing 🎣. Looking forward to your videos and maybe, perhaps, you could cook us a virtual shore lunch🔥with your fish? Take great care P.S. Fred and I should get back into it, as well, in the spring. Fishing is a great past-time! 😄

[@wrbruce6100]

I was born in 52, I use to do the same thing. All of the magazines would say the secret to catching the big ones and I would read them cover to cover trying to find out that secret. What you were talking about was the real America, i know it well and I for one miss it also. When you heard something on the news back then, it was for sure real. I hope you make it back to the good times, ever once in a while. Take care

[@marilyneves8856]

I completely understand how you feel Kevin! There is a song I listen to on KZbin called 'Take me back down the old dirt road', sung by Bo the Drifter, brings tears to my eyes though. Perhaps Bridgette could accompany you fishing next year, but I'm sure your subscribers will give you some encouragement when the time comes. Take care 🙏

[@Squatersash]

How cool would it be going out drinking twisted teas and having a campfire video taping moose and stuff

[@pamcee6813]

Wonderful memories. Would like to see you doing it again

[@AlpineSprinkles]

Your Dad wants you to keep fishing because you can talk to him there!!! This is a tough time of year for me. Ive lost too many close family members. I miss the 60s and 70s alot. Nowadays i feel like we are being continually terrorized kept on edge constantly and this creates so much angst. I enjoyed your memories and get those pics framed bc they will get messed up laying around. God bless❤ you will catch a big trout in the spring!!!

[@donotbendtruth6120]

So interesting Kevin. Relating to ticks: did you ever witness the grass burn off that was common years back? It may have been before your time or in maybe just a rural setting. I'm thinking it may have been done because of ticks or grubs, in order to "steralize" the soil, so to speak. Its wise and a gift from God I believe, to be so thankful for our parents or grandparents, and the memories we have. I am older than you, and I can't tell you how many times I wish I could go back too. But the best is yet to come: "But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.". 1 Corinthians 2:9

I used to fish never ate them really now I’m against hurting fish so don’t fish ited have to be catch and release or something for me to partake I’m in seclusion from everyone basically because things like this I wouldn’t hunt either then I’d hike though can’t even organize myself to do that this is what I think of non stop is how to control myself enough to make even a small step in right direction 😅
