"Spending time with your family fishing is one of those magical activities that create incredible memories" said Shauna Gosevitz, Sr. Director of Marketing for WFN. "With Father's Day approaching, WFN decided to ask anglers to tell us about their favorite memory or story about fishing with their dad for a chance to win a fishing trip. What a fabulous gift to give dad - a chance to spend some more quality time with him and create new memories that will last a lifetime."
