Notes: Been fishing since I was a toddler, my grandfather Hollingsworth of Indian descent, as soon as I could walk would take me fishing. As I got older, I would go cat fishing with my father along the Delaware Canal using cornmeal balls, and fishing with my Uncle Roy on the Barnegat Bay. Yes, I married an "Angler", and whose father was also a fisherman, and then had three sons, who would sell worms and coffee to fishermen on opening day of Trout Season when we lived in Mahwah, along the Ramapo River. Definitely a fishing family.
My daughter would tolerate fishing, but didn't like it, and on one of our fly-in fishing trips to Canada and while in the boat with her Dad, pouting about fishing, her Dad finally said "fish like you mean it", and she casted that lure with all her might! She hooked something really big, her Dad. For the next week John had a lure attached to his head, and we had to wait for the seaplane to come back at the end of the week. Years later we had the lure made into a necklace for her, but there's more to the story, so when you see Cheryl, she will give you the blow by blow, it's quite funny - I'll leave it at that!
