Papaw and Sons

My brothers Ronnie and Steve brought Dad up for a long week-end together. Charlcie was in Missouri for a long week-end trip with her sister, so it was a bachelor party at our house in Cotter. We had a great time together, highlighted by taking Dad to catch many large fish at Dry Run Creek. We are all big St. Louis Cardinals and Razorback fans, so we enjoyed watching the Cards clinch their division series and the Hogs defeating Auburn. It was really a great time for the four of us to be together for a few days! Unfortunately, I got so caught up in the moment that I forgot to get pictures of all of us together. Anyway, we were excited that Dad did so well fishing. I failed as a guide - although I rigged him up with the right flies to catch the fish, I managed to not net the very largest fish that he caught before they broke off - I'm simply not experienced in catching such large fish, a couple that exceeded 24".
