He was a good dad, so he’d begrudgingly take me out on the water when I became a fishing-obsessed youngster. However, his lack of angling skill meant we’d only ever fish with one method—trolling—and I hated it.For hours, we’d drive slowly around the lake in a circle, towing lures and baits behind the boat. It was a mind-numbingly slow type of angling with little…
