It's nice to see a man who lives life and refuses to allow life to live them.

[@theoldfisherman2040]

I love that quote my friend. Thanks for being in the boat with The Old Fisherman.

[@craigjansen6036]

You don’t know me but I really get to feeling bad for you when you talk about losing Debra and being alone. My late grandmother died a few years ago at 100 years old, obviously outliving my grandfather who lived a good 94 years himself. My grandmother was a Godly woman and lifelong Christian, who spent much of her time each day praying and doing a daily and nightly Bible reading and devotion. You’d ask her about being lonely and she would adamantly deny it. She would always say that she was so close to the Lord that she could feel His presence so strongly, it was as if He was sitting right there in the room with her. Man I wish I was that close to the Good Lord.

[@angelasheppard7197]

Me to my friend because I really miss my wife.

[@lizthewiz64]

Hey there buddy Steve. I know the feeling of being in the house alone. It's so quiet and lonely. But I have you to watch you and listen to, and that brightens my day. GOD BLESS YOU TODAY AND ALWAYS, my friend..❤😊🙏🏽

[@theoldfisherman2040]

It is so wonderful that I can brighten your day my friend, thanks for sharing and GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIEND.

I absolutely love these videos…thanks for taking the time to take us with you

Glad you like them!

[@murdocparrish7305]

Loss of loved one is a hard thing to take, deal with, and try to get over. I'm 60 years old, the Lord has taken my whole family. Father, Mother, all three Sisters, and a Daughter. My Best Friend always says she doesn't know how I deal with like I do. And I tell her the same thing over and over. Because I "know", that their in a better place now, wrapped in the Lord's arms. With no more pain or suffering, so Old Fisherman. You find a little peach in knowing, Ms.Debra, is with the Lord, and all is well 🪽🪽🪽🪽🙏🏾🙏🏾.

[@theoldfisherman2040]

I understand that my friend but for me that does not make it easier to deal with.

[@murdocparrish7305]

@@theoldfisherman2040 No Sir, I know that, we all deal with it differently, and in our own time. No way was I trying to minimize your loss, pain, "or" loneliness. You seem to be one heck of a man, and you touch sooooo many of us. So you just keep punching, and catching those Crappies. And we will keep you in our prayers first, and more importantly. And also, watching and learning, from your teachings.

[@jakebarbee2248]

Been watching for several years now and its cool to see how your video editing has evolved and the new gear and setups you've acquired all while you still keep the same quality fishing. It's relaxing just to sit back and watch the fish come over the rail.

[@gsxroyce256]

This is good content I’m glad I found this channel. The reason those crappy won’t come over there and get that mellow unless it’s real real close to them is because the water is so cold they have to preserve their energy they won’t burn no energy for a meal they have to gain more energy than they’re gonna burn to go after it so it’s got to be right in front of their nose right on top of them

[@theoldfisherman2040]

Thanks for sharing my friend.
