Default Re: A fish for a lifetime!

Well said, Gerry. My dad was not a fisherman but my mother's brothers were. I used to sit spellbound and listen to their fishing and hunting stories. If my uncle had never taken the time to take me fishing, I wonder if I would have ever gone. There used to be a fishing badge that the cub scouts would award for cubs who went fishing. I used to take lots of the youngsters whose family didn't fish to the local ponds so they could qualify for their badges. Some of those kids now are fathers with their own kids whom they take fishing. You're right. Someone has to plant the seed.
