He's right (though I cannot vouch for the feeling of landing a 50 lber!! - only a 40 lb from the boat!) the best keeper(s) you will ever land.

Fishing isn't a lost cause, just not as much as before. My eldest of three (6 yrs) has her own rod for her birthday and is dying to get her first striper this year (she got her first blue at 2!). The middle one landed her first fish last year.

Seeing them growing up is amazing. Participating in it, more so.
