Perfect vignette that humorously highlights the follies of consumerism. How many ruin their lives (and their families) climbing the corporate ladder chasing “success”?
Love this, Yuri! So the lake you recently went to go fishing with Yuri, Sr. --- was it a new lake for both of you, or had you been fishing together there before.
I know you said it had been a long time, but I’m not sure if you meant it had been awhile since fishing with your dad, in general, or a long time since going to THAT lake.
Haha I know it’s not really important, but I like clarity. BTW, you have such a handsome face! 😂😉😂
I loved fishing with my dad when I was a young girl. He took my brothers out too when they were younger, but probably (maybe?) not my older sister. I’m MUCH younger than my siblings as my closest in age brother is 9 years older. Anyway, we went out for catfish. Daddy promised me I would catch one and I totally believed him. So time kept passing and no fish. Finally, he caught one, but still none for me.
Then...suddenly, a fish tugged my pole (I was using one that belonged to my brother when he was little) and I was so excited! Dad coached me about how to reel it in. It felt like a HUGE fish! But...it was a cute little sunfish, so we threw him back in. But he was right. I DID catch one. Mom made delicious fried catfish nuggets for us that night. I can almost smell it now along with her famous steamed broccoli with lemon and almonds.
My grandfather took my brother and me fishing a few times in Florida. The only time we caught fish was when we used the peanut butter sandwiches my grandmother had made for us as bait. I think the fish we caught were technically scrawny enough that a proper fisherman would have thrown them back in the water, but we took them home, and my grandmother did her best to cook them.
Cool story bro! Yuri's tales like this are always heartwarming and uplifting, reminding us that there are things such as truth, beauty, courage, love and that life is about living, not working.

Tovarisch, I thought the old saying was:
Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will sit in the shade and drink beer. 🤷♂️
