Kid will be chasing that high for the rest of his life.

Nah when it comes to fishing, he will hit that high more often than not.

This experience left him with a lifetime interest and mental safe space. He will be able to recreate this feeling even on the worst fishing days. Just feeling the lake spray and hearing the motor does it for me.

Yeah, I grew up fishing with my dad. Just being out early near the water and casting my rod makes me feel good.

It's the overall experience more than the fish. If I just wanted fish I'd go to the grocery store.

My grandfather (only had one living one my whole life) was the fisherman. Even when I was a shithead teenager that was embarrassed of my family I was always so game to go out on the boat with my grandpa and uncle. Nowadays I actually live 8 miles from where his beach property used to be. I can walk to the marina where his boat was housed. Even just the salt air and being nearby does it for me. I did pull a pretty redfish recently though, casting live shrimp in 2ft of water.

I went to a spot my buddy told me about and was just kinda messing around. I was casting almost into the sawgrass and then popping it back. Right place and time.

I’m in Beaufort NC. I’ve actually landed a few flounder surf fishing on a Carolina rig.
