In the realm of rivers and lakes so wide,
A tale of anglers takes us on a ride.

Dr. Ron, once a professor esteemed,
Now a fisherman, by the water it seems.

With a cane pole in hand from an early age,
His mother's lessons set the fishing stage.

In Michigan's lakes, a world to explore,
Perch and Sunfish, his treasures to adore.

As time went by, his skills took flight,
Casting his line, seeking greater delight.

Northern Pike, Bullhead, and other fish too,
Each one is a challenge, a prize to pursue.

Across states and borders, he cast his net,
In Canada's waters, he would often set.

From Louisiana's Gulf, where the salt air roams,
To Florida's shores, where the sea whispers poems.

But among all the species that danced in his sights,
A love for Catfish burned bright, day and night.

The mighty Blue Cats, with their strength untold,
Captivated his heart, a passion they'd hold.

Alongside his son, a fishing team emerged,
Brad, his fishing companion, whose talent surged.

They were partners in angling, father and son,
A bond strengthened by the water they'd run.

Michigan and Gulf waters they did explore,
Freshwater and saltwater, they both did adore.

From the depths of Lake Barkley, their journey took flight,
Chasing Catfish and Stripers, their shared delight.

Together they cast their lines, side by side,
Patiently waiting for the fish to abide.

With each tug and struggle, a story unfurled,
A testament to the joy found in the fishing world.

Dr. Ron, and his son Brad, the angler
A duo connected by a love they both savor.

In lakes and rivers, they found their retreat,
Amidst the ripples of nature's symphony sweet.

So let their tales echo through time's endless stream,
Of fisherman's dreams and the bond they redeem.

Dr. Catfish and his son united as one,
In the pursuit of Catfish, their lifelong fun
