Wonderful story.
Been there;done that. With my own son.
Took him fishing, too. And canoe trips into the Boundary Waters Canoe Wilderness.
coached him to handle the first large walleye pike he caught. All i did was coach and handle the landing net.
Next best: was official OLD GUY and 'technical adviser' with my son and my grandson as they fished the Big Horn River in Montana. Watched my grandson fish quite skillfully.... for a 1st grader.
And was there to see grandkid catch his first muskie in Wisconsin. [as a 3rd grader ]
its all about the memories.
