The OldNole has taken his cinematography to the YouTube level. He just posted a short video from our snapper fishing trip during our 2006 vacation in Panama City Beach, Florida. Our captain that day is dad’s longtime friend, Carl. He took us to a spot just offshore where we landed a cooler full of red snapper in about four hours.
