He released the biggest fish of the year. Couldn't bear to kill it. He wanted to see her swim away. Great first catch and wonderful memory.

I lived behind Bob and Rachel and thought they were the best. I was the old man but they welcomed me to their gatherings many times. My best memory of Robert was taking him fishing , watching a beautiful sunrise and having him land that monster striper.
