fishing

I took my boys fishing today. Nearly all day in the hot sun. And still they whined about stopping at 6:30pm.

Where do the fishing genes come from? Both boys love to go fishing. My oldest would fish all day, every day, if we let him. I was not like this and no one in my wife's family was this way either. (My older brother, however, is an avid fisherman himself.)

Just what is it about fishing that can really attract a child's attention? My fishing-loving son is quite an active lad, so to see him sit still for four, five, six hours on end is quite unusual. But where did he develop this interest?
