I remember a story I've read several years ago about a father and his son, who he used to bring with him on fishing trips, spending hours and hours engrossed in this pastime. They would do this whenever the father finds the time away from from his busy schedule at work, and you could see from the gleam in the boy's eyes that he would always look forward to these fishing trip moments.
