DON"T BLAME IT ON THE VIDEO GAMES
I might only be 18 but over the last the two years I've taken at lest 10 kids ages 13-8 fishing with me
and they always say same thing " MAN this is better than a video game"
Kids don't fish because they don't know how and because their parents can't take them because they don't have the time and they don't know how to fish
When you think about it, would you let a 10 year old kid who lives in the city to walk half a mile in the city to that little pond in the park, in to days world the answer is NO!
If we want to keep this great sport alive that means we have to pass it on
That means when you see two kids who have no idea what their doing with their fishing poles you go up and help them
It means letting the kid catch a fish and showing him all the cool things about that fish
It means showing the kid how to tie knots, and untangling his pole for the @#!%^& time and being able to smile at him and say " That's OK try again"
Fishing is the best sport in all the world, PASS IT ON!!!!!!!
