Enjoy those times fishing with your ole man. I bought a new bass boat this year to spend time with my Dad and a month after getting it he was diagnosed with throat cancer. He just finished his radiation treatments and is still very weak. Hopefully we will get to go out together before the year is up. Love these videos man.
