What/who did it for you?

First time fishing was with my sister. I must have been 4 or 5. We took worms down to the river across the street from my house, and I don't know how she did it, but somehow we both caught fish, the hand-dug worms didn't crawl away, and I didn't nosedive into the water. Good old sister Ray. Then I got into fish at school, and now I have a degree in fisheries conservation from Umass Amherst. My first striper was thanks to Rob Rockcrawler, and it was only last season. He's a wicked awesome teacher, because I've gotten a couple keepers this year already. And I am SO hooked.

Oh yeh, I forgot about the times Dad took me down to the Canal as a kid, along with trolling worms in Plymouth Harbor. Never really hooked up too much, but it did the trick.
