- 2004 - Spring Everglades fishing trip with Captain Ray Culver (aka "Chokoloskee Ray") Imho, Choko Ray
is the finest fishing guide money can buy.

- 2004 - Same fishing trip with my son Sean (shown here with Choko Ray) - we're 15 miles from the
mainland, way deep in the extended backwaters of the Florida Everglades - and Sean landed his first
snook ever
This
is one of my all-time favorite memories in this life of mine... me and my son and Grandpa out fishing
in the Everglades and landing some big ones. My son is the best friend I always wanted - loyal
friend, funny, sincere, honest, passionate and caring - his waters run deep. Strange thought
the first time I consciously noticed, but I've always been a father who wants to be more like his
son. I think it's supposed to be the other way around - but life is riddled with funny twists -
and I can't imagine enduring it without Sean.
