I found this very touching video on YouTube last night. As a musician myself, I found Rick’s tribute especially moving. He speaks with obvious love and deep appreciation for Dolly’s extraordinary musical talent. It may make you cry.
Speaking of catches of the day.
Here’s Rip with a steelhead caught somewhere in the Pacific Northwest.
Rip loved to fish. And for perspective, Rip was a large man. Ashley tells me 6’3” and 230 pounds.
That’s a linebacker holding a very big fish.
That is the catch of the day. The first action photo or any photo of RIP! Thank You! Kevin. A name to a face. Outdoorsman like me! Big Bore handguns.Hunting or Fishing! Common Ground. Thank You This article is saved mail. Kevin! We were pretty much the same size to boot!
