I’ll just put this here... I’ll call it retirement goals

So, this is a condensed log of the entirety of my grandfathers fishing career during retirement. He is a numbers guy and keeps track of everything, so this is a little backstory for the records he keeps.

I should say that he is still living and well but semi retired from fishing and has moved from where he caught all these fish (Florida). He’s 92 years young and a GREAT man and even better Grandpa.

I thought most would enjoy this condensed version of his fishing calendars throughout the years. He tracked where he went, who went with him, and total fish he kept for the freezer.

He is fully aware this seems like fiction and he doesn’t want to seem boastful of anything like that. He just loves to keep up with things and it a very sharp man. I think this is amazing record keeping and something we might all consider doing.

Impressive! He must really like to eat fish to keep that many fish.

I’m mean!

Nice history, thanks for sharing it with us. I'm glad he's still doing well. I had a friend who fished all of the time and he lived to be a hundred. He had a saying "for every day you fish, you live a day longer" I guess he was right. His son's took him fishing for his hundredth birthday.

I will let him know.

It wouldn’t take long to pick his brain about crappie fishing, all he ever did was fish a float and minnow with 10lb mono. Nothing fancy with the rods either, just cheap as you could get. Most of what he used were the kind that you just tie your line directly to the end of the pole.

After fishing and talking with him tons about fishing he says you just got to go... got to know where they are and if they ain’t there go find them jokers.
