My dad used to take me as a kid and I forgot how much I loved it. Found an old tackle box at an estate sale and it's like a switch flipped. Taking my oldest out this weekend to teach him. It's quiet, it's peaceful, and I get to bond with my son without screens involved. Already planning a camping trip with him and my brother next month.
Dude, I get this feeling. I've been trying to relearn piano because my daughter wanted to learn, and it's wild how something you thought you forgot just comes back. Enjoy those fishing trips, that's quality time right there.
That's awesome, man. Those moments when something just clicks again are the best. Hope you get to pass that love of fishing on to your kid like your dad did for you.
Finding that old tackle box must have hit you right in the feels. Hope you can take your own kid out there sometime and create those same memories.
That's awesome man. There's something special about reconnecting with something your dad taught you. I'm doing similar stuff now thinking about what I want to pass on to my boy.
15 years is a long time to be away from something. Did you have to relearn a lot or did it all come back pretty quick once you got back on the water?

Finding that old tackle box sounds like fate honestly. Nothing beats getting back into something you loved as a kid, especially when you can share it with your own family now.
