My dad started taking me fishing with him 62 years ago when I was five. I helped my 4 year old granddaughter catch her first fish this week on Monday. Three of her four siblings also fished for the first time and also caught their first fish that day! What a great memory for all of us!!

Almost 3 when I was going with my Dad , going on 81 in may. Still fishing 2-5 times a week depending on the weather. Almost 78 good years.

My grandpa started taking me fishing & showing me the ropes 69 years ago. I was 5 years old. The 1st thing I had to learn was how to dig worms.
