There were 17 men at “Funny River Fellowship Lodge” this past week. One of the guys brought his eight-year-old son with him. I was doubtful that he would be able to do anything but watch. It takes a fair amount of strength to fight and reel in a sockeye salmon and net one. But he fooled me; he caught several fish, reeled them in himself, and did a lot of netting for everybody else’s fish. Several nights we stayed out until midnight, and this morning we got up at 3:00 am to go fishing, and he was there with us. I have brought many of my kids and grandkids with me over the years, and it is so fun to see them catch big salmon. It is one of the best father-son or grandpa-grandson events there is. Proverbs 17:6 “Grandchildren are the crown of old men.” I can’t wait to bring some great-grandsons fishing to Alaska.
