I'm gonna be (Shortnose Sturgeon fishing)

When I'm dreaming
Well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna dream of life list trophy fish like you

When I'm planning
Yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who plans the route for you

When exploring
Well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who fish new place with you

When I'm tripping
Well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who drives all day with you

But I would drive five hundred miles
And I would drive five hundred more
Just to be the man who drive a thousand miles
To come knock at your door

When I kayak
Yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the friend who kayaks hard with you

It's gonna be wet
Yes I know it's gonna be
We're gonna be soaked head to toe through and through

But if I get cold
I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the wife who tough it out with you

As we're waiting
It is so hard to contain
I'm gonna be excited just as much as you

But I would drive five hundred miles
And I would drive five hundred more
Just to be the man who drive a thousand miles
To come knock at your door

Tadalada Tadalada Taladaladalada Taladalala
Tadalada Tadalada Taladaladalada Taladalala

I have found fish
Well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the guide who share the fun with you

When you're hooked up
Well I know that I'm ready
To capture every fighting moment for you

If you triumph
I'll let them know and they will hear
I'm gonna yell "congrats", "hell yeah" and "woohoo"

When we look back
I am certain that we will see
We'll see this crazy group who loves to fish with you

But I would fish five hundred miles
And I would fish five hundred more
Just to be the man who fish the world
Who may just come back for more

  2. Thanks Casey! We are already planning go back next fall. If you can get your boat down there, we should plan a trip together! I can ask Joe where you can launch the boat. We may yet have another chance to meet and fish together :)
