First Fish

It's one of those first-time occasions that you want to try to capture forever. I actually don't remember the first fish that I ever caught. I do remember going fishing with my dad and brothers. They were usually typical summer nights. We would stay out on the boat until the sun reached the top of the trees. That was our time limit so that we'd still have enough time to get back to the boat lunch, pull the boat out of the water and secure everything before it got too dark.

Now that I have my own kids, our family has a house on the same lake that I used to fish. So I can drive up with my kids anytime, break out some worms and give them the same sense of excitement that I had while growing up. You can't help but have some excitement watching your own kids hold a fish that they caught with their own fishing pole. It's a different kind of excitement now. But, just like the commercial says, it's priceless.
