J-B Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 I am a lone wolfe also, but I am trying to change that. My grandfather introduced me to fishing when I was about 4 years old. My father could care less about fishing. Now I have 2 daughters. The youngest one (10 years old) loves to fish so I am teaching her all I can about it and taking her as often as I can. She has actually outfished me the last couple of times we went out together. I am proud of her. Quote
Super User Matt Fly Posted February 16, 2010 Super User Posted February 16, 2010 My family/kin folks was a fishing pack. Unfortunately, my parents, all grand parents, 12 uncles and others have passed. I have 2 brothers that would not leave a river system to touch a lake, much less go bassin. Its felt like a lone wolf for years. Quote
zero limit Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 I got two brothers that love fishing, but one is in the seattle area the other lives a few blocks away and we get togather for Lake Michigan perch, trout and salmon. Bass fishing i guess i am a lone wolf but my 12 yr. old daughter has been comming along alot last fall for crappie and bass fishing Quote
I.rar Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 lone. trying to get my fiance interested but its not going too well ;D. some times i would like someone to be fishing with me , but most of the time i enjoy the alone time. Quote
fishermantony Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 I've inherited my fishing passion from my grandparents. I hear my grandma actually taught my grandpa how to fish! And my grandpa was and all around avid outdoorsman. I definitely consider myself a lone wolf for the most part. Can't wait for that first trip out alone once I get out of this middle eastern desert. Outside of seeing my wife and boys again it's what I dream of most! Quote
SBM-RL Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 In my family it skipped a generation my grandpa fishes and helped start my interest , but none of my cousins took much interest. I did get both my brother's involved though! Quote
farmpond1 Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 Hmm, let's see....how does a wolf sound? Arrooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!! I have an identical twin brother and while he will occassionally fish with me, he is nowhere as crazy as I am about the sport. I brought him out to a lake on an evening where the the bass were hitting buzzbaits and he was more worried about the bugs biting! There's no accounting for some people! Quote
demonjd22 Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 I got started by seeing a neon green spinning combo with neon green line at Jamesway (now I know I'm old) and got it from Santa when I was young. Dad would take me occasionly but never fished but I became hooked. Still got that original reel which I plan on passing onto my future children (before I give em a Daiwa Steez so they appreciate it lol), but am currently trying to get my lil brother addicted. Quote
bassman31783 Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Fishing family for me. I however take it far more seriously then anyone else in my family. Quote
AZfishrman01 Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 It's kind of sad to say, but I am the only one. Both my mother and father, detest the idea that I fish. They say it is a waste of a student's time. I strongly disagree. This is something I love. Anyone else have parents like mine? Quote
oteymc Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 I had people around me that liked to fish when I was younger, and we went some - but not a lot. I had plenty of chances growing up, but I was into other things. I remember going to help my Grampa bale hay, he would let me go fishing at his catfish pond early in the morning while he was getting the equipment ready(I was probably 10-12). My Dad took us fishing occasionally, I think just because he thought that's what good dads do - he didn't even fish most times. I really appreciate that now, because he would have probably rather been doing anything other than that. Now don't get me wrong, it wasn't like we were begging to go in the first place, if we would have really wanted to, he would have taken us everyday. I have a brother who is 8 yrs younger, and he really likes to fish and is a good crappie and bass fisherman - but he lives 6 hours away. I only started fishing again about a year ago. I fish alone most of the time. I think that is why I enjoy reading on this site so much. I think my sons are going to like it, and my 4 yr old goes some with me, that is fun. This is an interesting thread. Quote
