Got an unexpected call last night. It was my brother and he sounded like nothing happened. He was able to talk to me for about 15 minutes. He may be released from the ICU trama center to a lesser trama area but it will be a long road to hoe from here on. He said "I may never be able to catch an amberjack again. Heck I can't even catch a johnny roach at this time."

One side is a lot worse than the other with every rib broken on that side and many in 2 places. He seems to be bouncing back in true Hooper fashion. He has proven he can fly but he still has to get the landings down a little better.

That was one hell of a bump in the road!!!!!

Thanks again for all the support and prayers.

Life is Good!

Fishing is not a matter of life or death. It's more important than that.
