Back in the late 80's when   I was 16 or so on one of my first solo dives was going up with my brother.   Was not supposed to pick anyone else up.......    After picking up a few friends we were driving to the sportsman.  I guess someone thought I was not going fast enough so they passed me on the right  to turn into the lot.   Well they were in my blind spot and when I   turned in , POW,   hit them.  Mom's car was only a few months old.   Really did not  get in much trouble but did not get  to go fishing.

These are all from when I was a kid in the 80's
 
My friend shredding a Zebco 404 on a huge king
 
My mom falling in the river when we were walking  when I was like 13.  She took us alot.
 
Seeing a guy get hooked in the eye lid.   Guy that hooked him cut his line and said  "You better see a doctor about that." 
 
Used to be a school fishing derby in September. Dad did not know how to fish for anything.  Went up with night crawlers and caught a large chub.   Won second place. 
 
Crashing my mom's new car    see above
 
Getting hip boots,  a 6'6"  ugly stick, a Shimano FX 2500  and several pieces of black sponge for Christmas.
 
Catching fish all day and selling the eggs at Pineville
