I once knew this old timer.
He just loved to fish.
To him it didn't matter.
Crappie, bream or perch.

He taught me about fishing books.
He taught me how to tie a hook.
He showed me all the places.
That I should go and look.

He taught me how to drive a boat.
He taught me how to anchor up.
He taught me about the great outdoors.
He taught me that it's not just luck.

These days the kids do watch me.
To see everything I do.
Because of that old timer.
Now I am one too.
