St. Petersburg - JULY 23

Here are a few of my fishing buddies.  Steve the Birdman.  He's been fishing this same spot for several years.  He gives all of his catch to the old pelicans that have adopted him as their benefactor.  They are very old and some of them are going blind.  He's a very caring fellow and has many great stories to tell.

This is Calvin.  He's on the pier at St Pete almost every morning.  He's a great fisherman and almost always has a catch but even better, he's a great guy.  A kind and generous man.  He often gives his fish away to his friends and neighbors and when you talk to him for a while you can tell the goodness in his soul runs deep.

Cal had 6 fish in his bucket when I met his this morning.  Mangrove snapper mostly.  Yumm.
