My dad was fighting a life and death battle with cancer when I was a kid. It was kept from me. I would watch Jimmy, Bill, Virgil and the rest of the TV fishermen for knowledge. Dad wasn't really a fisherman but he loved the fact I enjoyed it. He would buy me any gear I wanted. He would take me to various lakes and watch me fish while he was secretly battling for his life. He's long gone and I'm like 50 now. My dad was and still is my hero and I associate my childhood Fishing (our little getaways ) and these TV fishermen with my Dad. Life's too short, cast hard... Love you Dad.

Reminds me of mine! 👍 my family is from Alabama and I received a letter from my dad while on my first deployment to Iraq and my dad had told me that nick saban was going to be the head coach of Alabama. Me thinking I’ve got to get back stateside for this. That was the only letter my dad ever wrote to me out of 7 deployments. But man I still think my dad was the tallest, baddest man that ever walked this earth, yet my hero til I die.

It doesn't matter whether the celebrity is a movie star, a singer, or a bass fisherman, a who group on sad little people with no lives gather around and treat them like gods.
