Here's an interesting case. I'm an identical twin. My brother and I fished every day of the summer from age 9 to 18. mostly for trout in the Pocono mountains where we spent the summer. By age 15 i was fishing more than him and going off on solo trips often. By age 20 he still enjoyed it but almost never went. We are currently mid 40's and he never fishes. I fish every chance I get. My Dad didn't fish but really supported that we did.
I now have a 16 year old son that is as passionate, maybe more, than me. This weekend we went trout fishing and he caught a nice Brown and Rainbow. He's crazy about striper fishing and won't let us bring the boat in even after 8 hours of fishing (i'm not kidding). We fish every chance we can and it's usually the highlight of my week. I don't think I did anything different than other Dads, he just has the passion.
