I seen Merle in concert lastnight. It's his farewell tour. His Son thats in this video was playing lead guitar in the band. He was awsome! Great video by the way!
I cried a little watching this. Great song! I lost my dad to cancer just a short time ago. He wasn't just a great dad. He was my best friend and my fishin' partner. He and I fished together since I was a little boy. And we went to see Haggard together every chance we could. He loved to hear me pick and sing Merle's songs around the house. I never thought about my world without dad in it, it's still hard. Maybe someday I'll be able to bring myself to fish again.
@Fogslifted Aw Foggy I found this because it was on my what you faved list. I lost my Dad to Cancer 4 months ago. He was a good mate too, and Christmas just wasnt the same without him :(
my Daddy took me fishin and i took my boys fishing and now they are takeing their boys fishing...only difference is im a woman but loves to fish...thank you Daddy for teaching me
Don't forget Waylon and Kris and Johnny and Tammy. I think what we're all saying is the Old Guard is the REAL Guard, and nothing today can touch them.
All I can say is, "Every time I hear this song, I get tears because my sons are so far away from me and I haven't seen them in a year. I love them and mis them. If only I could take them fishing. Thank you For this wonderful song.
You can give a man a fish and it will feed him for a day but if you teach a boy to fish... he'll keep worms in the refridgerator. Great job! Harland & the "Hag"... now that's a pair to draw to!
Merle Haggard is one of my very favourite singers. He was a foster child growing up & was not treated the best, so the song "Take him Fishing" is probably something that he always wanted to do with a Foster Father. I heard him talk about his childhood one time & it broke my Heart. Your still the best Hag.
Happy Daddy's Day Merle!

Oh man this is a great song and a great performance. Merle sings the best when it's something he really feels. You know he feels this one.
