My dad fished tournaments for years while I was living on the other side of the country.. I finally moved back close to home with the intention of getting to spend some time on the water with him fishing..
It lasted a year.. All those years of tourney fishing burned him out and now he rarely goes fishing at all.. He even turned down this year's Canada trip after I offered to pay for it.. Turns out the drama of the trip made it a good idea to not go, but that's not the point..
Anyway, I've fished exactly one tournament, did well enough to keep trying, but then I look at how my dad doesn't fish any more and have decided that tourney fishing isn't for me.. At least not now..
