We're all familiar with the phrase "give a man a fish, feed him for a day.  Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime".  And while a lifetime of eating nothing but fish seems like a horrible lifetime, it is important to pass down the love of fishing to the next generation.

Like a Norman Rockwell painting or the Andy Griffith show opener, fishing is ingrained in us as Americans.
