Grandfather for me.
I can remember waiting for him to get off work so we could hook up the boat and go. Many evenings sitting in the 12' Sea Nymph fishing with bobber catching blue gill.
Didn't matter where we went, inland lake, river, creek. He always had so much passion and excitement, even if the fishing wasn't good the trip was always memorable.
Wasn't until my adult life I started fishing the Great Lakes.
