Said I was going to the wharf last night to cast a line and he said he wanted to come. First cast resulted in a totally freak capture of a small rig on a microjig. He was pretty buzzed by dad catching a "shark" and wants to go fishing for big sharks on the boat. It's a start!

Mate...super cool progress..... absolutely stoked to read it.

Great result if he is involved in the processing and eating of the fish as well, he will really be hooked

Do `t push too hard...boys have different talents and interests in different year or month, if they play nice then play along with. When I was that age, I wanted to be in local school but they kicked me out because my residency on paper. When I want to be in basketball team at age 10, the coach said I was too tall for the rest team. When I want to join football team at age 15, they said I was bit short for a striker. When I want to learn economy in college, my bio-old man said you should learn something "useful" such as mechanic...

Sometimes my daughters say they hate going fishing on the boat just to see my heart break, also sometimes the little ones change their minds...every 30 seconds. Looks like he's back on the wagon!!!

There is no doubt that my son finds no greater joy on this earth than to cause me pain and discomfort, either physical or emotional.
