My Dad got me into fishing then I got to go with my Grandpa a few times as I got older. Now I’m passing along my limited knowledge to my own grandchildren! One day I hope they will out fish me!
Very nice giveaway package! Thanks TackleShare! Hope you all are doing great! I'm 63 and was introduced to fishing by my stepdad at 6 yrs old. Started off with bobbers and worms and worked my way up from a cane pole to baitcasters and spinning reels using artificial baits. Love to fish every chance I get, even still today. Appreciate you all!
Fishing since your childhood is an awesome feeling and getting back to that happiness is the best thing 🤩. Fishing was just a hobby for me when I was a child who lived in a tiny village with a lot of backwaters. When the monsoon comes, all our playgrounds will become a fishing spot and that was the only sport we can do at that time. Now at this point, fishing is not just a hobby but it’s a part of my life 🤩❤️
My hubby, he's always loved fishing when he was younger and when we look at renting a cottage for a week in the summer, he's more concerned about the fishing than the accommodations.... It's a great bonding experience for all ages.
When I was younger, I always tag along with the neighborhood kids and roam around our residential area. Cycling, playing at the playground and also fun time fishing. That is how I started.
My grandfather use to take me fishing as a young kid but we would only troll and I didnt learn much. Now he's very old and I took responsibility of the old aluminum boat and that ignited a passion to make sure I learn everything properly so I can teach my own kids all the ins and outs. Thank you Shimano for sponsoring.
It was my father that got me into fishing. We would go trouting when ever we could. Now I have passed the love of fishing on to my son! He is my best fishing buddy, even if he catches more than I do!! Thanks for the great program.
I am very fortunate that my dad and grandpa love fishing and hunting. My grandpa used to bring me and my brother out fishing as often as he could. Missed those days but now I can culture a new generation of angler which I start with my kids.
Fishing runs in the family... I first started fishing with my Grandpa, Uncles and Dad, when I was young. Now I continue fishing with my children - son's and daughters... always getting in at least a few trips a year with my Dad.
My dad was the first to take me fishing and I always enjoyed going out and fishing for hours and hours. After a long break I got back into it and love it so much. I can thank him for that passion I have.
We lived near a Lake Erie and my dad had a boat. There were five daughters in the family and no sons, so of course we were introduced to fishing at a very young age. My husband loves to fish and so do our sons. It’s the main thing they do together
The first person to take me fishing with my father . He took me when I was just a toddler and we’ve spent thousands of hours on the water together. Unfortunately, that’s no longer possible but reminiscing together, and sharing my fishing adventures with him always brings a smile to his face.
I was always interested in fishing, but it took a good friend last year taking me out and giving some tips to get me hooked. Now I’m teaching and bringing out other friends to enjoy the outdoors!
My brother and I used to fish off my grandparents dock all summer catching panfish. I also remember my dad and grandfather taking me fishing in our tin boat with a one-way motor in the evening. They always had to row home in the failing light. But I'll never forget how that fresh pan-fried walleye or bass in flour and butter tasted before we headed off to bed.
Got involved by purchasing a fishing magazine when I was about 13. I can still remember a couple of the fishing stories in that very early magazine. I'm now 76, so I began my love of fishing over 60 years ago.
As a young boy, i have seen the big fish my dad caught and was very excited to go fishing with him one day. As I turn 6 years old, my dad surprise me with a fishing trip that he organized. That was a memorable day for me and that is how I kick started my journey.
I fell in love with fishing when I was barely able to walk- my dad was so inspiring, and he was always happiest when showing others how to get started ❤ Cheers! 🎉
I'm not very good at fishing, but my dad used to take us when we were kids, and that's how I got into it. My sister and I have a great memory of taking the canoe out and catching a bunch by ourselves!
I was always interested in all things outdoors. Fishing is one of them and it was self learning throughout the years and mixing with the right company.
I've just had a passion within me for fishing for as long as I can remember. None of my family or friends liked fishing but I've always found it the most fascinating and enjoyable thing.
Jigging cod, raking mussels and casting for brook trout with my grandparents in the 70's. Now I love bringing my family and friends outdoors making memories hunting and fishing.
I would have to say my husband. He takes our son and daughter out fishing almost every weekend during the summer. They all really enjoy it and I tag along. It’s actually very relaxing.
I became interested in fishing through a neighborhood friend at around age ten who was completely passionate about angling. We had both a nearby creek and river that was only a twenty minute walk and I was hooked as it was always an adventure. At the age of ten he was already talking about what various fish species like to eat (insects) and what lures are best. His enthusiasm was contagious and before I knew it we became angling buddies and this led to canoe tripping, backpacking and the need to always carry along my fishing gear.
I grew up fishing at the cottage but nothing too much. Hubby enjoys fishing but our son would fish everyday if he could. It’s his passion and what he talks about and watches every day!! He is the reason we fish as much as we do.
I was born in a small Northern Ontario town. It's in our blood to go Hunting and Fishing!! My Father Stan obviously introduced me to both Hunting and Fishing because it's the best things to do outdoors for your menth health and well being!! Hapoy Holidays and Merry Christmas to all.😃👊🇨🇦❄️🎄🎅🎁🎣🎣
I grew up fishing off of my grandmothers dock that was in the Thessalon River and it’s just always been something we’ve done. River fishing. However, my dad got me into that and it has become some thing that we do every summer head to the river get in with her feet and wave through until we catch them. Sweet Brookies
I'm from Northern Ontario, way up there, and fishing is part of everybody lives. Started off as a young kid ice fishing with the entire family and have been fishing ever since.
At 18 yrs old I got involved in EMS and began working 7 days a week to help ensure our community had service. In 2011 I moved into administration and started working even more hours, about 2000 hrs a year in overtime on top of my regular 2000 hours a year and sure enough, within 4 years, dropped dead (literally) at the age of 44. Thanks to some really great CPR, about 8 shocks on the defib and having my heart paced for about a dozen hours, I'm still here today (9 years later). The reason I got involved in fishing was the fact that as my heart was stopping I held my kids hands and only wanted more time with them. When I got the second chance, I took up fishing and have taken every chance I can to take them out on my adventures, away from cell service, to simply spend time with them before they get too old to say no :) Second chances are rare, fishing has been my way to spend more time with my kids.
I got into fishing when my family started an annual family fishing derby on the August Long weekend every year....we have been doing it now for over 30 years!
Family friend took us fishing & camping when I was a kid. Such good times but didn't keep it up when I went away to school. Back at it now that I can take my kids out fishing with me!
I got interested in fishing when I went out on my paddleboard with a fishing rod while on a family camping trip ... and caught my first bass. Been hooked ever since.
Got interested when I was around 5years old, I fished for many years after but in my teen years I stopped..now I’m in my 50’s and love it more now than ever.
What got me interested in fishing was the fact I lived in walking distance from a local fishing spot so that was a favorite pass time for all the kids in the neighborhood
My dad is old school and I have 2 older brothers. He never took me anywhere as I was a girl but my brothers didn't like fishing so dad finally took me to do something normally was a man's sport. I've been a fisherman ever since and spent many happy hours angling with my daddy!
Thank you team for the lovely video and all the good work you’re are doing to impart sustainable fishing. I’m looking forward to buy my first rod and reel and enter this amazing world of fishing. Keep it up.
I went fishing every summer when I went camping at Quetico park, and it was one of the highlights of each year, last year I saved up all year and bought a boat and trailer so I can fish bigger lakes. I’ve been hooked ever since and I try to go out most weekends
Every year my parents rented a cottage. One year we rented a boat. The only fishing gear we had was the rod from the curtain, some string, and a piece of balonga. I caught my first fish and I was hooked!
I became interested in fishing through the early years of Bass Anglers Sportsman Society. I am a lifetime member of B.A.S.S. from my early association with them.
I fished a bit as a kid with my Dad and brother. My brother got really in to it and starting entering competitions. I started going to a lake where every cast (pretty much) I caught something and then I was hooked!
My dad used to take me fishing as a child and i always LOVED to eat fish and still do .But now i take my 7 grandchildren fishing .They all enjoy it too.
When I was 5 my dad took me fishing with my grandpa. We caught a bucket load of perch. Needless to say I was hooked. Now I take my son, his first experience was ice fishing.
Grandparents. My moms dad had a place on a lake where we fished for bass. My dad's parents were hook, sinker and worm over the side of the boat at the cottage. Bass, perch and almost anything else. Not a big liking for catfish though. Now experiencing a resuregeance with my daughter and showing her what I know.
The city where I live hosted a fishing program for youth that taught fishing and then let us keep the brand new rods afterwards. I was 15 and have been hooked since.
My grandfather and my dad were influential in instilling love for all finny things. My grampa was an avid fisherman. He gave me one of my first fishing rods. I still have a rod and reel he gave me. I have them to this day however I no longer use them for fear that I may break what is a treasure for me. Even though both are no longer around my love of the sport has never waned.
My bf got me interested in fishing! For 3 years now, we have been going out cod fishing in boat, mackeral fishing and trout fishing, it is so much fun!
My dad and brother.. many many yrs ago..it was a cheap back then day away sport. Plus it was also a meal..yrs later I taught my 8 kids fishing rods from canadian tire special and camped and fished all day...now no more canadian tire anything and my kids now adults can teach me a thing or two..lol

My dad had me outdoors all my life….especially fishing!!! Still love spending time in the boat with him!!

It's fascinating to learn about fish behavior and how I can catch em with lures! That is what makes me want to go back for more.
