I thought about pursuing the fishing option at one point...I went on a day trip with him at 9 years old and caught 34 bass. I was so proud that we lined them up along the sidewalk in front of his house when we got home and took pictures. After that a few attempts at catching blue gill and carp when at the river for fun in the sun (waterskiing, jetskiing, etc) failed - so I decided to be a dancer instead. (Are you really suppose to be trying to catch blue gill anyway?) Now that I have come full circle, I am willing to give the whole fishing thing a try...wish me luck...
