I tried to read every post to this thread. Seems to me most everyone here had a Mentor, be it their father or a good buddy who had the opportunity of a benefactor who knew a thing or two about fishing. Point of the message is: take that kid down the street who may not have a father who fishes. This day and age, he or she may not have one at all. T ake a kid fishing; I gurantee, you will not regret it.

Best regards to the board,
