Default RE: What single person(s) has taught you the most about fishing?

Man I sure hope Tim does not see this post. My father started my addiction growing up in the Keys and Flamingo. I have had the pleasure to fish with many blue water crews in Hawaii, Midway island, Australia and so on. But I will admit that my son Tim in the last three years has renewed my passion for allTYPES of fishing. His attention to the very smallest detail of fishing is what impresses me most. If you have read a few of our post, you would see Tim and I fish a lot (just the two of us). This year the two of ushave been able to catcha Blue ,a Mako, many Tuna, Wahoos, Dolphins, Groupers, Snappers, Floundera, Sheephead, Cobias' and a lot more.Many of our freinds that fish with us now aboardRECESS, will tell you it's like a fishing classroomevery time we leave the docks with Tim aboard. His dad Gene

Hands down my grandfather Max. We used to stay with my grandparents afterschool which was walking distance from Cordova Park.I would ask himif we couldgo to the garage just so i could look at all of his fishing equipment. I would sort my tackle box at least 2x a week. I remember even casting into a hula hoop that he would lay out on the lawn for me to practice casting. He taught me how to tie my first fishing knot. He used to take me and my sisters down below the old cervantes bridge(before the bayou was pooped in) to catch pinfish. I fell in love with fishing and graduated to catfish ponds. Well with plenty of saltwater fishing and not much freshwater we started saltwater fishing. He used to take me to the old bay fishing bridge. We would pick up some live shrimp from the old tackle storeat the foot of the bridge where we wouldalso get a fishing report before we went out. I remember just looking at all the pictures that John had taped up just hoping I would one day be lucky enough to have mypicture up there,haha. We would catch white trout, ground mullet, plenty of catfish, anda few suprises thrown in. Well with his old age and bad diabetes we never get to fish together anymore but I credit my love of fishing to my grandfather. He was my "foot in the door" so to speak and it has been an addiction ever since even though I dont get to fish that much anymore due to being at school in tallahassee.

The guys I regularly fish with (you know who you are if youre reading this). Bryan Bennett has been a huge source of info; I learned a great deal about swordfishing from Chris Vecsey; Wade Hatten and Keith Johnson; definately not Chris Hood though. nope.
