[QUOTE="Riggen&Jiggen, post: 97169, member: 564"] Well at least now I know I am not alone in my crazy addiction with fishing. I rarely go a couple hours at a time with out some sort of a fishing thought entering my mind. My old man got me into fishing and we still fish together, not on every outing but most. It does pay to give kids the opportunity to fish and have success. However now that I have my own kids (3 girls) and take my buddies kids fishing I have realized that opportunity alone does not dictate if a kid is going to catch the fever. I don't think that is all that different now a days than it was when I was young. When I think back at all the people I went through high school with which was around 530 maybe 30 fish to this day. The point I guess I am trying to make is either your born with the love for the outdoors or your not. The first memory I have of fishing is when I was 4 years old and I remember every time my Dad told me we had to go home I would throw a fit and cry. This was usually after 8 hours of fishing in 90 degree weather and if we were lucky catching a northern or 2. If we did not catch anything I would get mad but never thought of giving up. So yeah fishing is my drug. Don't know how, when or why just know I have always been hooked. [/QUOTE]
