Long live the King!
A championship race horse is usually the product of proper
bloodline and breeding. They are bred for speed, stamina and determination. Excellence
doesn’t just happen. Some are just born to it. Today was a prime example. Three
LaFavors boldly boarded the ALVA D this cloudy Monday morning. Alva D LaFavor Jr, The
Ol’ Captain and Cody LaFavor (great grandson of the late great Alva D himself).Years
of bottom fishing experience. Generations of blue bottom bumping blood contained in this
one small aluminum craft. There hasn’t been this much royalty in one boat since the
Queen mother made her maiden voyage. You could feel the energy. It was inevitable that
something special was going to happen today. By now you are on your seats edge. What
happened on this historic day? I thought you’d never ask……..
Sweet 16 and never been Carped
Alva D Jr is my big brother. Cody is his grandson and my
great nephew. Today was Cody’s 16th birthday. Cody is no pilgrim. He has fished with
my brother Danny since he was 3-4 years old. He has caught sharks, kings, stripers and
many other species that grown men only dream about catching. There was only one obstacle
left. Today on his 16th birthday, Cody LaFavor became the 4th Carp King of the Year by
boating a whopping 7 lb, 10 ounce Golden Ghost! My daddy, Alva Daniel LaFavor, would have
been so proud.
I am attaching four pictures. Two of Cody with
his catch, one of my wonderful big brother Alva D Jr with Cody and finally one of Craig
Brown graciously passing the revolving trophy to Cody. Long live the King!
 
Until next time, Keep on Carpin'
