  1. I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed this story, it nearly got me all choked up. It mirrors the revelation that I just had about my father’s lack of fishing prowess. I too grew up fishing with my Dad and cherishing every moment of the time we spent together on the water, whether we caught anything or not. It wasn’t until I fished with guide Pat McGriff out of Keaton Beach that I realized most everything my Dad had taught me was wrong (maybe not for Walleye or Pike, but wrong for the Gulf Coast). Fortunately, my Dad is still around, at least for a little while longer, so I’m going to teach him everything I’ve recently learned (and of course, my kids). Thank you Paul, and good fishing!
