Great reading and so true today....It's kinda sad to say some children would rather play video games than go fishing.

Thanks for the read, Ship. Your thoughts are so very true. I can say that I was fortunate enough to be raised by parents and grandparents that taught me about fishing from as early as I can remember...fresh & saltwater. As I look back I now know it wasn't just about the fishing...it is a common bond that we all have an interest in that we still have to this day. Many children have not been as fortunate. You are right as most kids are interested in fishing, but just haven't had the opportunity to go and be taught. I've been involved with taking kids from a children's home fishing in past years and that has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Just watching their enthusiasm made my day and the thank you letters gave me a great feeling. Hopefully it made a difference in their life as well. Take a kid fishing!
