Never had any family into fishing. As a kid I was amazed by it. Would sneak out to our local reservoir and find a stick, line, hook, whatever I could find, and look under rocks for a worm, and go to town. Spent a lot of time grounded when I'd get caught, but well worth it. I now fish the same reservoir frequently, but now I have tackle and a boat, and a wife who loves to go with me, and gives me her blessing when she doesn't feel like it. Life is good!!!
