This song means alot to me. i lost my fishing buddy on dec 4 07 we fished together for years,every chance we got we was fishing, he was my best friend , ,(and i guess you can sit in the front of the boat till i get there, sissy!!!!!) R-I-P Ronny we love you brother.
This is a great song, and I don't really care for country music. But this song reminds me of my Dad who passed away in 1991 when I was 15. Fishing was our thing.

If theres a riverbank in heaven i knoiw hes there with our Mama and Daddy all fishing together. Ilove you Charles
this is the song that my uncle played at my cousins funeral last week this reminds me soooo much of him and now i listen to this song almost once a day bc i loved my cousin so much R.I.P Scott
This is an excellent son. I t reminds me of my Father-in-law who passed in March. I loved to hear all his fishing stories with his boys and i regret thet his granddaughters and grandson will never get to fish with their PAPA
I love this video. Y'all did a really good job putting all those pictures and videos together to make this. Anybody who has ever loved someone and lost them can relate to this song. It will make you reminisce, smile get chills and cry. Thank you Jeff and the Good People band for this amazing song.
worlds GREATEST song ever. my best friend of 19 died this summer from his crazy step dad shooting him, and this song was played at his funeral. Every time all of his freinds including me hears this song we all cry with eachother. thanks jeff.
i just heard this song today for the first time and im telling it made me a grown man cry because it reminds me of the times i went fishing with my paw paw and my daddy
What an AWESOME video! Thanks Jeff and Black River Music for letting your fans contribute to this video....it makes our "fishing memories" all that more special.....Luv ya!
This is the most awesome song I've ever heard Jeff sing...thanks so much Jeff! You will never know how this song has touched hearts everywhere. The memories that is brings of our loved ones are priceless.
I love this video, you really did a great job. I especially liked the dad who threw his kid across the river. That really brought back memories, only it was my dad and he was tossing little girls. You have 6 thumbs up from the Johnson family.
I love the video, I just wish there would of been a small memorial at the end for Jeff's and the bands Dad's who were the inspiration for this song.. :)
For my Granddad lost him 26 years ago still miss him like it was yesterday.
