Most people when looking for a friend would normally look to someone they met at school, or someone they work with, never a younger sibling, yet I have turned to my younger brother, Jackson, to be my best friend. Jackson and I are very similar and have always had a close relationship. Together we are partners in crime, fishing buddies, and there to push each other in wrestling. I often catch myself wondering, what would I do without him? Bored children are good children. Jackson and I made it a point to always entertain ourselves summer days with nothing to do.

Fishing with friends is not the same, we talk more than we probably should and never catch as many fish as Jackson and I do when we go alone. We are also less likely to help each other netting a fish. Jackson and I on the other hand, drop our rods in the middle of a cast to help the other out. Without my fishing partner, I would not have anyone to fish with when everyone else is busy. No matter what Jackson is always the first person I ask to go fishing
