Check this guy out. He's 100 years old and he is still fishing. The history he has seen is incredible. Having the physical and mental ability to fish up to this age would be a dream come true. If possible, I'm sure many of us plan to spend our retirement years fishing and I hope to be this guy someday. I would be interested in any other stories of "ancient" anglers from the rest of you. What an inspiration!

The last two lines of the article:

I still try to walk two miles every day when the weather's OK. And I go fishing. That gives me something to look forward to.

I want to be him when I grow up (I'm only 57) ;D

That's great! I work in a LTC facility and hear about people like this gentleman quite often. Just yesterday I spoke with a man who is turning 99 on Monday. He told me he was in the plumbing business for 46 years. He's probably forgot more about plumbing than I'll ever know. It always brings a smile to my face. Good for him! 

Wow, That's very impressive.

Wonderful. Thanks, Ed.

Old people are cool.

I hope just to see 100! Fishing would be a bonus. ;D

When I meet some of my former co-workers and they ask me what I do since I retired, my answer is "I do two things, I either go fishing or I don't".

Neat story,my hats off to him.

I hope that could be my dad and mom, and hopefully me one day

Great story. Very inspiring.

Other than Homer Circle at 93 years old, I can't say I know of anyone fishing at such an age. Maybe he is 94 now.  I don't know when his birthday occurs.

Awesome. Great find.

I live up north, and down south. this past summer when my mom passed, we had to take her back down Fla. to bury her.

While talking to the minister who laid her to rest, he told me his mom had recently passed. She was 103, and drove herself fishing twice a week 30 miles each way, somewhere near Cedar Key I suspect. She came home & was frying a sheepshead, dropped dead with the stove still on & almost burnt the house down. My jaw dropped.
