A
Father and Son Story from their Brazil Fishing Trips. |
| |
When I turned 40 my Dad took me on Garrett's
Amazon fishing trip as a birthday trip just he and I. When my Dad
said he was taking me down to Brazil to go Peacock Bass fishing I
had to go find a map to see where Brazil was and go find a picture
of a Peacock bass to see what one looked like! I was so excited to
take such an exotic trip and exotic it was. Sleeping in floating tents
right on the river filled with thousands of fish and a few caiman
was exciting. Having time just with Dad was so great.

I stunk it up fishing though. I threw my lure
in every tree along the river but Garrett was patient and Dad and
I and Garrett where laughing so hard at us trying to fish. We got
better as time went on and I kept thinking about my son who loves
to fish. I said to myself, " I gotta bring Kash back down here,
he would be in heaven" and so I did just that, him and I came
back as a celebration of him graduating high school. |

Never in my life had I ever had so much fun than on my trips to
Brazil. I was so nervous my first trip cuz I new if I could cast
a good lure placement--at least into the water, I was in for the
fight of my life with these hard fighting Peacocks. Kash is quite
the fisherman and can cast a lure into any place he wants. He fell
in love with fishing and fished all the time in the ponds here on
the ranch and the rivers that border our property. My wife and I
dealt with muddy boots and tackle boxes everywhere all his boyhood.
When you have child it opens a place deep in your heart and you
never knew you could love so deeply before they came around. |

I loved watching Kash having the time of his life
catching Peacocks down in Brazil. Every fish he caught I felt like
I had caught too. To experience this with him was a time neither
of us will ever forget. Thanks Garrett for the wonderful fishing
experience. |
