RE: One of Dads happier Moments
I really am glad to see you guys had a good time. I also cherish every time I hutn and fish with my granpa's, grandma's and even father. It's a great time to soak up some memories, and just love every minute of it. I'm lucky enough to have grandparents who are still active enought to hunt with me, and I do cherish it...

The experience of fishing with your pop will outweigh any catch you or he will ever have, from the smallest minnow to the next world record largemouth bass. That is a right nice crappie.
At least it appears that you didn't have to kid your dad about choking it to death with the bait like I did my dad.

That definitely is a nice fish and your dad sure looks like he enjoyed the moment. This sort of makes me want to give my dad and call to see if he would like to head out one day soon.
