So growing up i was around parents that were not the patient type fishing. They would cast and let it set 3 minutes before checking bait. We never owned a boat as we never fished but 2 days a year. Then I never fished for 15 years. One day I decided I needed a new hobby as I was on my 18th surgery I think and I was slowly losing things I could do. Well after a season or two chasing cats and reading posts here and watching YouTube I slowly learned about gear and techniques. I bought an aluminum boat to start off with and sold it to move up and then got a 17'er. Kept it a couple years and then got my current 20' ski boat converted to a fishing boat. Now one reason I got into fishing was to spend time with my kids and they are getting so busy they can't fish....go figure. Anyway I'll keep plugging along and hopefully the surgeries will stop so I can have a full season without interruption.
