It’s an awesome PawPaw that makes a good man like you Kagen. So sorry for your loss. I became a Pawpaw 17 months ago. I’ve been taking my daughter fishing since she was old enough to walk and I hope to be able to do the same with my grand daughter. Keep your head up, your paw paw is in a better place. You have his memories, his boat, and a beautiful wife. What more could a man ask for. I love your videos, take care of yourself. Tight lines brother.
First time viewing your channel. I'm pushing 63 yrs old and it was an uncle of mine who put the love of nature in me at the age of 15 or so. I only hunt now with a camera but I still love to fish when I can. It seems like everyone has that special person who plants the seeds of the outdoors in us and the greatest thing we can do is pass it along to someone else. No better way to honor your love for your paw paw.
Kagen, your grand dad is always going to be in a better place. And you better know that he's always looking down on all of you. I'm almost positive he's very proud of you as well as the rest of y'all. My father in law still is fighting pancreatic cancer, I , on the other hand came in to remission two months ago, with the notion in the back of my mind if it'll come back in a different form. God bless you, sharing this with us allows everyone to know that life is too precious . Thank you for your service to us as a medical profession. And brother, tight line's never stop.
My grandpa is the person that got me into the outdoors too I try to go down to Wharton from Houston every chance I get to spend time with him and get my land ready for deer season. Sorry for your loss man, I will try to spend even more time with him now!
God just have another angel. Corona suck man. My wife work for Methodist on Covid's Floor. She came home exhausted everyday. Stay strong brother. That boat is priceless, it will remind you all the good memories y'all have together about him every-time you fish on it. Prayers sent your way!
Really sorry for your loss ! You were lucky to have a grandpa that took you hunting and fishing and instilled the love of those sports and the love of nature in you. I had to learn all that on my own. I know you think of him every time you take the boat out but he is with you every time ! Thanks for that story of how you got the boat. Keep your powder dry and your lines tight !!!!!!!!!!!
Keagan you left me without words I lost my father to cancer also very hard to say good bye. As we both know the good lord has a special plan for all of us! We need to remember them for what they were in our lives because they are so much alive in our hearts. God bless your PawPaw and bless you you now have a special angel watching over you with a big smile from heaven as he is so proud of you! ..... your friend, Beto
Sorry to hear about your Pawpaw. My pawpaw passed away from lung cancer when I was 17. That was 16 years ago. It hit me hard. My pawpaw use to ask me to go fishing with him all the time he instilled that big in me. But when he passed I did touch a rod and reel for about 10 years. It was hard for me to get out and fish without him. But now when I hook on a nice fish on those hard days we’re your just having no luck I know he set it there. Thanks for making great videos and keep fishing in his honor.
That was a little black drum. When they’re small they have black stripes and when they get big they turn into big ole uglies! Sorry to hear about your grandpa man. It’s really nice of him to give you that nice boat. With that boat, he’ll always be with you. Take care and good luck on the water
Great video bud. I’m sorry for your loss. And I’m sure he’s smiling down on you you every time your take that boat out. That aluminum boat should last you forever so you’ll always have a piece of him with you. My pawpaw is also the one to blame for my lengthy fishing trips and sits in the woods during deer season. He showed me the way and the love for the outdoors over 20+ years ago now. He’s almost 82 and I try to take him fishing as much as I can. I dread the day that we won’t be able to go together anymore. I feel for you brother and again sorry for your loss. Keep the videos coming maybe we will run into one another down there on the coast one day
Sorry for your loss, cancer runs in our family too much. My grandpa passed of brain cancer when I was very little. Fishing and hunting runs on both sides of my family, my dad is who got me into fishing at a very young age (2 years old), and guess what, that’s all I ever want to do now.
Aloha Kagen, I was worried you betrayed your fellow Solo Skiffers selling out for a bigger boat. But NO you did not, you are carrying on a family legacy by taking over your mentor, your grandpa's boat. The boat is a family heirloom you'll never sell but pass on to one of your kids in the future. I hope you still make Solo Skiff videos but great to see you in your grandpa's boat, he would be proud. Deepest sympathies and condolences to you and your family on your loss. Keep up the great videos. Aloha a hui hou.
Thank you for sharing your story. This is how conservation continues and how folks learn they dont need to go to a grocery store. Your Paw Paw sounds like a great man we all wish we could have sat around a fire and learned from.
Great video brother. I never had the chance to get close to either of my Grandfathers... I made a promise to my kids, that I will be the most amazing Grandpa ever to their children....
COVID and Cancer both suck!!! Keep that legacy alive and I’m sure you’ll remember PawPaw every time you’re on the water. Tight lines and thank you so much for sharing!!
Also thank you for being a nurse during this horrible time with this pandemic I understand having to work through this due to the fact I’m a first responder
My PaPa passed away in February. He was the reason I became a firefighter/paramedic and he was also my fishing mentor. I will always remember our trips on Texoma chasing Stripers around. He didn't have a boat when he passed, but He did leave me a dozen or so tackle boxes full of stuff. Some of it was lures that were still in the original packages and are older than I am (48). I am so glad you shared this story. I love watching your trips and hope to get back down to the coast sometime soon. Fish on brotha... Thank you!
Really enjoy your videos and have learned quite a bit. This one got to me. My grandfather passed in 2018. Like yours, he was my gateway to the outdoors. Ultimately his gift to me after his passing allowed me to live in Crystal Beach TX.. I have a boat and love spending time in Galveston bay. Proud grandsons make great men.. Hope to see you out there one day!
I’m so sorry for your loss. This year I lost my dad and my big cousin who was like a brother to me. Life comes at you fast. Rest Well Paw Paw. If you see my dad up there tell him I finally caught something on a bucktail lol.
I feel you on a personal level, my grandpa passed away in 2018 when i was 17, he taught me so much and he is why i enjoy fishing a lot. He also passed down his boat to me, a 1997 17ft hydra sports cc. I know im a little young to say he taught me a lot of things but you get what im trying to say, lol. May he rest in peace 🙏
Thank you for posting this story I am very sorry about your loss. My Dad has multiple myeloma and amyloidosis. I hope to be a good grandad to my grandkids one day and be like your paw paw was to you.
If I could give this video a million likes, I would give it more than that. I understand how you’ve felt these past months. I lost my grandfather on July... fish on & tight lines! Keep on at it strong my brother!
God bless you and your family and your papa may he rest in peace and be with the Lord amen keep up the good work Papa would expect it .. now you can fish and hunt with you everyday
Awesome vid bro, my grandfather past when I was 11 an never got to experience life with him as a young adult wish I could have ,but he passed with altimeter disease, and I didn't have that much time with him . Nice you were able to spend some time and get a boat to keep on keepin on .. Still miss him... Feel you bro...
Awesome vid bro definitely!! And My condolences to you. Paw paw left u a way to always connect to be together on the water might not be here with us but will always live inside of ur hart. enjoy life its short unfair sometimes but just remember no matter what he's always around. And When u on ur way to ur fishing spots he'll always be right next to u. Seat won't always be empty. Til next time!!
So sorry for your loss, brother. I know the feeling well. Just know that he is watching you and smiling everytime you land a fish!! God bless you and your family. Keep up the good tube videos. Maybe one day when I get my solo, I can catch up with you for a day of tightlines.
Awesome story! Treasure that boat! My grandpa did the same for me, and sadly when he passed my grandmother sold his boat because she thought she was going broke, which was far from the reality of things.
Sorry about grandpa but about giving you the boat was awesome to honor him Niceeeeee God bless and that’s why I am a subscriber to your channel because you’re cool dude can’t wait to see more videos on you’re new boat👍👍👍👍👍👍
sorry for your loss put those memerys will keep him there with you for ever I know I lost my Mother 6 years ago he will be glad you are kepping the boat in the water
Sorry for your lose bro, my grandmother got me into fishing when I was so young I don't remember when it started. But she passed many years ago. And when I'm out on the water she'll come to mind and that's when I have some of my best fishing even if I don't catch anything. Take care.
Sounds like a great man your paw paw reminds me of my papa spell it little differently but he got me into fishing and I been fishing ever since and now your paw paw will be with you every time you go fishing im sorry for your loss buddy keep them lines tight
I’m sorry for your lost brother, but don’t ever forget all the great times you had with your papa even though god called him into his palace in heaven, he is no longer in pain and he gets to watch over you in heaven as you still fish on and carry on his passion that he instilled you.

The legacy he instilled in you, the love for the outdoors will be honored each time you venture out on land or sea. God bless you and your Paw Paw.
