slt Fishing Hunting Family
As a Florida native who has been fishing and hunting in the Sunshine State for seventy years to say fishing and hunting were in my blood would be an understatement.
I have been sharing my adventures with on the water, in the field, pictures for fifty years; video for over fifteen. What an honor bringing the many wonders of our tropical wonderland to life. Last week, from the deck of the Florida Fisherman ll, we saw first hand what it was like battling the mighty Amberjack.

Former Florida Gator's star quarterback Heisman Trophy candidate Kyle Trask is now a Tampa Bay Buccaneer. Hopefully Kyle's career with the Bucs will begin as well as it ended with the Gators.

Perfect time to reminisce on something even more important than Bucs football or even fishing and hunting... Family!
Hopefully many more will join in and share family memories from yesteryear and today. This is one of the only pictures of my wife and our three daughters:(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/uu162/harbisonphoto/4(163).jpg?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds) (https://app.photobucket.com/u/harbisonphoto/a/920cb4ed-3481-4eb4-b220-e45b63afcc1b/p/f778f141-6e04-403a-aa86-3854b23682bd)Family is everything. Thelma was born on a mountain top in Tennessee. Fishing and hunting were second nature to her. Together we enjoyed the waters and fields of our great state for the entire thirty nine years we were married. She was good, very good, at both:(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/uu162/harbisonphoto/5(153).jpg?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds) (https://app.photobucket.com/u/harbisonphoto/a/920cb4ed-3481-4eb4-b220-e45b63afcc1b/p/869f2122-554b-4f66-ae9c-25572d8fc0de)Today Thelma and our youngest daughter, Betty, are doing their fishing and hunting in heaven.(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/uu162/harbisonphoto/7(139).jpg?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds) (https://app.photobucket.com/u/harbisonphoto/a/920cb4ed-3481-4eb4-b220-e45b63afcc1b/p/1857d5d6-400c-4c10-83c9-03e25a48746d)All three of our daughters are not only mothers, but grandmothers.
