“I have found my final resting place, That Special spot to fish

Remember the times that we shared – You too, I will miss

This is the journey I must take, and I must go alone

Know that my heart is with you, as I take this journey home

To that final fishing hole, for fisherman like me

To tell the biggest fishing tales about the one that got away

Remember me with fondness, This is not goodbye

It is “Till we meet again”, At the fishing hole in the sky”
