As I gain a closer relationship with my dad, fishing also helps bring my friends and I closer as well. There is nothing like helping a friend netting a big cat or sitting on the boat for six hours at a time sharing jokes and memories from past fishing trips together.
So yes fishing might not be significant to you but I have caught many fish this summer, gained a better relationship with my Dad, spent some awesome time with friends and what that all gave me in return is memories that will last me a life time.
