Quality time spent with children, such as shared activities like fishing, creates lasting memories and strengthens family bonds more than material possessions or work achievements; parents should prioritize presence and consistency over perfection, as children will remember the effort and love invested in them rather than material goods.

Joe. Joe. Here. You got to throw him back. It's your fish. Y'all, I pulled this mush in my back and man, it hurts.
My god.
take me a shower here after a while and I'm going relax y'all.
All right, let me finish setting this up while they fishing.
One thing I pray for all the time is that my kids grow up knowing that they would love. Not because our lives were perfect. Not because we had everything, but because they seen the effort that I put out. They seen the consistency. See, I didn't always have all the answers.
truth be told really still don't. But I'm learning that being a a good father ain't it ain't about perfection. It's about presence. And a lot of us men, we grew up without these type of conversations, without guidance, without emotional support. So now we trying to become the men that we never fully saw.
And that's hard sometimes. These moments right here is moments that nobody can replace. Not money, not work, not fame.
This right here is just real life. And honestly, truth really be told, I think uh social media got people chasing moments that look good instead of moments that feel good. And one thing I'm realizing at this stage in my life is that your children don't stay children long. These days right here, these are temporary.
See, one day, guess what? They going to have jobs. They're going to have families and um they're going to have responsibilities. And these fishing moments, these are going to become their memories. And that's why I'm learning to appreciate the simple moments more. You know what I'm saying? Because life don't slow down for nobody.
So, I encourage you to every parent that's out there trying to uh their best to keep going. I know there'll be times you feel tired. You may fall, you know, feel like you falling short sometimes, but your presence, it matters more than what you think. See, um, my kids, they not they they not going to remember everything I bought them, but I promise you, they'll remember these moments here and how I made them feel. They'll remember all the times I showed up, spent time with them, listened to them, and cared for them, man. And honestly, that's what I want my channel to represent. real life, real family, real struggles, but above all, real love. So, we don't have it all figured out over here, y'all, but we stay grounded in faith, family, and moments like this gives us the time to appreciate the simple things while we still got them.
So, I encourage everybody, stay rooted, stay planted, y'all. It's your boy Big B. We out this thing, y'all. Y caught his six fish, y'all. ain't no bigger than my finger.
Yep. Why you got that hat on looking like a old man? But anyway, y'all, we out this thing, y'all.
