One of the best ways to make an avid fisherman like myself is to spend it with your children. I can't remeber the first time I went fishing. I was probably a couple of days old knowing my father. For the last 29 years I can say most of my best days have been spent fishing with what I consider my best friend My Father. From being the child running around the lake not pay attention to my rod to the fisherman I have became to today I have to thank my father. It is funny how the roles reverse themselves now it is me telling my father "What you need to do is watch your rod", "Put your rod down and quit reeling it in" and the famous one "Don't worry they will start hitting soon". The classic is sturgeon fishing. When I was about a punk 16 my Dad said "I have a suprise for you in the morning" and being the little 16 year old punk I could not wait for the surprise. Finally he gave in, it was a trip on a charter boat for sturgeon fishing in the SF bay. Well needless to say we did not catch anything, but I was hooked knowing that my time would come to catch a sturgeon. For the next 16 weekends in a row it was me and my father fishing for sturgeon. Well guess what I found a new passion and got the pleasure of boating many keepers. The great part of our adventures was I think my father was more proud of his son catching a keeper than he ever would be of himself catching the hawg of his life. Well my father is a avid trout fisherman and here is a picture he send me of his limit that was a total weight of 21lbs
Maybe is will finally get him on this board to trash me ever chance he gets :grin: .............Chris
