My dad opened the door, but I walked into the world of fishing.
He taught me one of the most important lessons in fishing: that the lessons never end. If they did, then you'd have given up long ago.
He taught me, without really knowing it, how to enjoy even days when you don't catch a thing, to "live in the moment" as it were.

I learned (fine tuned my tactics) more on my own, but he gets credit for the introduction to the sport, and fostering the desire to keep learning.

I can only hope that the people I have introduced to fishing will carry on in their own ways.
