This is Rocky: One day I was fishing the false lock at the River and found where the walleyes where stacked up. I caught 3 nice keepers. Then I broke my line. So I saw Jerry over on the float. So I went over to see if he was doing any good. He said no. So I told him to jump in my boat. Took him over where I was fishing and told him where the fish were bitting. So I went to tie on a jig Jerry said need the net. I netted 3 fish still did not get my jig tied on. So I told him to net his own fish so I could get tied on. By the end of the day Jerry even out fished 🐟 me. Teaches my to be a nice guy.

Sorry to hear of your dad's passing. I was best friends with Joanie and Krissy. I remember staying over at their house in Mt. Horeb several times and going clogging with them in Madison. Your dad was a nice man. He will be missed and I'm sorry for your loss.
