I had to tell him yesterday that the snook photo wasn't good. He said that he didn't care, he can remember it in his head.

But yes, bringing along a photographer would be a good idea. You can see sledford in the background. I probably should have hired him for the job.

Great work Niel. I bet he will remember this birthday for quite some time.

Great post Neil. Happy B/day Garrett. You are a blessed young man having Neil show you around.

Thanks Bob. I'm the lucky one. I'll never have a kid of my own. That one I've known since he was about two hours old. We've always been close. He's a real pal.

I literally got so excited when the snook jumped, I dropped a brand new sea gar in the water. I was nervous to hand it to him for the picture. I was talking him through it while I had the fish in the water and he said "I think I'm all right. I have watched how you do it." Kids observe everything.

Incidentally the dry rate is about two hours for a quick dunk like I gave it. It actually smoked pretty well after it sun dried for that amount of time.

Happy Birthday Garrett.

Congratulations on a great day of fishing... one of many more to come.

You are a lucky guy to have Neil as a close friend.

Anytime you need a photographer to document your fishing expeditions, have Neil contact me.

Todd, you're fired. Not just because of the Frog's photography skills

He carries Sea Gars on his kayak and he doesn't even smoke them.

Snook, Trout, Redfish and Flounder, that is like a super slam. All he needed was a tarpon to make it a super duper slam. Good job Neil. Enjoy him while you can they grow up so darn fast. My two nephews are now going to USF, all they are thinking about is Girls!

Happy Birthday to the G-Man!!

Getting him hooked on fishing has kept him out of the following situation:

See how much happier my nephew is than this poor soul!
