My grandfather and my mom, gramps had the boat and my mom loved to fish I got to go sometimes. They fished Cape Cod Tuna Club Tournaments back in the 70's and when I got to see the giants my mom caught I was hooked, she showed me how to cast in the Barnstable marina of his boat 'The Angler'. She managed to snag the rod and get it back after 2 times I tried to cast then I learned how to not let the rod go shortly after that I caught my first snapper blue. Just big enough that it bit my knuckle and made me bleed so the battle/obsession began. I couldn't get enough of it, I would search every where for shrimp and minows to use for bait. I miss being a kid; well my body misses being a kid because now I'm just a big kid in a 46 year old body.
