@MB, this is my nightmare, but also, I imagine, my fate. Like you, at 8 years old I was completely obsessed with fishing. Far more so than my father, uncles, or anyone else in the family. My dad was actually a video game designer in the 90s. He kept wanting me to play video games, because that was his thing. I kept wanting to go fishing, because that was all I cared about until I discovered girls. I know I disappointed him in that regard. All I can say is that I appreciate him for taking me fishing and supporting me in my "odd" obsession. In return, I would occasionally agree to go to the arcade with him on Saturday afternoons.
