ha ha ha ha ha you fools. Naa just kidding. I have the opposite story. My wife and I didn't fish much at all when we were going together. She just didn't like to and she didn't mind me going. After being married for many years and working my way up to more comfortable boats she has learned to go and enjoys it more now. This Columbia springer season was great and she got a couple and now I think she is even higher than ever and fishing. My advice is the same for kids and wives. start them slowly by going on nice days for easier to catch fish and don't stay out all day. Let them work their way into it at theri own pace and it will pay off! Tight lines.
