Son just back from an Amazon Basin fishing trip with his Grandpa, needless to say he had the trip of a lifetime.

  Brian you have an amazing dad (and son- great job on you!) there are some events in a young mans life that can be transforming,this looks like one of those very rare times. We (my wife & I) take our grandkids to the ocean and bay every year teaching fishing ,ocean body surfing and just general good value time. We purposely do not bring their parents as they are not good parents....this is the time we teach values as we also have weekly overnights for the same.
     Its up to us all to do whats right for our future generations.
 Sorry to get heavy-my thoughts as I looked at those great pics.....could ya post a pic of your dad(in-law?)
   Love stuff like this!!
