Great story mate.
I started fishing again with my father this year after a LONG break from the sport.
It's great.
Fishing, at least for me, is about being with the people I'm with.
Hey, one thing I learned this week that I didn't know -- a legacy of my father.
I fish Left handed.
I'm sure my dad just handed me his gear and I haven't bought enough stuff over the years to remember always switching the reel directions.
But yesterday I bought my first casting reel (a right handed one) and when I put it on my rod I immediately realized I had been looking at it backward at the store just assuming it was correct.
So I ended up running back for an exchange.
My kids will also be learning to fish left handed.
Thanks Dad.
