How right you are. My son is 14 now, and loves to fish more than i do, if that is possible. There is nothing greater in this world we live in than to have your son wake you up at 4:00 in the morning, saying "Dad are you going to sleep all day, or are we going fishing" You will have a fishing partner for life, and believe me, there is no greater thrill in the world, than watching your son enjoying the outdoors with a burning passion for fishing.
