I am up for ANY father son activity but fishing I just can't do. I am not a fan of fishing for a regular hobby. |
I swore off fishing as a kid. Well, "Bottom fishing" anyway. It happened when I caught the biggest "Sea Robin" and couldn't de-hook it. Dad forced me to do so and I just kept resisting. It made noises at me. "Croooaaaak." Dad was not budging. So I waited until the fish died and then de-hooked it and threw it back into the ocean. I had to do it with gloves because the spines are a bit venomous like lion/stone fish but not as severe.
I never went bottom fishing again. Maybe I'll go trolling for bluefish or Bonito or something but I won't go bottom fishing again.
