Thanks to Captain Nathan Key of Shad Slinger guide service for letting me and captain Eddie help with his large multi boat group today. I had the amazing opportunity to fish an 86 year old Dad and his 4 sons. Having this man onboard and watching him catch fish including a massive hybrid and a nice striper was so dear to my heart. I have a special place inside me for older folks, as my Grandpa is the reason I got hooked on hybrid fishing when I was 4 years old!!!!
