My dad caught this fish on my birthday this summer he is 90


Someone is helping him hold it
a 80 lbs halibut caught in alaska

I didn't get to go my stepmother's family paid his way.. I'm poor.
It took him an hour to get it in and it was the biggest fish caught on the trip

He's ninety and has better health than me, still mentally very sharp and he has no arthritis, I have my mother's genes I think.
His birthday is the same day as my daughter and the same day my mother died.

4. when I went to Colorado a week later for his birthday
I got a 2 pounds or a small packet they had flash freeze and shipped back Fedx to Colorado
Damn good fish steaks on the grill, he was reluctant to share even that and I can't blame him after I ate some.

He can pass for 75 the bastard.......LOL...... which makes me what?
