Took the "kids" night fishing in Tampa Bay. Boat ran great, the weather was awesome, caught our own bait, fishing sucked, the son got stuck in the knuckle with a catfish spine, and spending 6 plus hours alone with my adult children was very, very nice.

Getting to spend time with your grown kids makes you a very lucky man.
Our little weather gift must not be making it to you.

Each year at our national Aquaculture conference we hold a charity auction for our National Aquaculture Association. I have been the auctioneer for the past 6 years. I started offering a fishing trip in Clara 3 years ago. Last February a friend from Texas won it for $1200!! Yesterday he and his new wife cashed it in. The weather was absolutely incredible, and while the fishing was more than slow, they had an absolute blast! I think they also were proud to be in her at the ramp when a group of guides and their clients were drooling over her.
