Rick,

Having a son to share the outdoor/fishing/skiing/camping experience with is the best. My oldest and youngest boys were always computer geeks and never really had an interest, but my middle son and I have always been kindred spirits. I've seen him catch 5 lb smallies in Maine, 7 lb largemouth on the cape, boatloads of crappie for a fish fry, to the switch to the salt and stripers to 30 lbs and gater blues. Its always a hoot to watch him try to out fish his old man, but I've not slowed down enough to have him catch me just yet; although he has come close a few times.

He has poured some of my Ledge Runner Baits and I've walked him through building his first custom rod. We've blasted down Sunday River trails a few weekends and Jay Peak a time or two, it never gets old and I treasure the time we get to spend together. At 29, he's not my little boy anymore, but we both get younger when we are spending time together.
