>>1511863>the fiancee's nephew's birthday was coming up>remember when I was seven or eight and hooked into a 40 inch pike that snapped my line >I dedicated my young life towards catching a similar sized fish and used my birthday money from grandma to buy huge rapala lures>decide that I want him to have what I had >spend about an hour picking out the perfect zebco push button combo with small soft plastics that will get him into bass and pan fishing. >when he starts opening gifts mine was last>he opens it up, sees what it is, and then looks disappointed >runs over and asks his mom to play call of duty or whatever murderous game he's too young for My soul died a bit, but I regained hope because he finally asked if I would take him fishing. I hope he enjoys it.
