I have, I guess you'd call them "fantasies"? "Premonitions"??? of casting my line and when the hook flies past my head it gets stuck in my eye. I just can’t do it. I’m terrified. I also have the same irrational fear of ice skating because I always imagine myself splayed out on the ice, arms and hands fully extended and someone running over my ungloved hands with their razor sharp blades and cutting my fingers off. That’s just how my brain works, I can’t help it. We just bought my four year old his very first aquarium (a handy little 1 gallon model!) for getting through his first week of school this year WITHOUT having to go in for a parent/teacher conference to discuss his behavior issues. YAAAY fish. I have a totally unreasonable and irrational fear of fishing.

You'll be lucky if you haven't made Ace a friend to fish thereby insuring he never lets you hook one again once he's old enough to realize what you're doing! Hopefully he'll continue to say, "Here Fishy Fishy!" and not, "Fish are friends, not food!" ;) My little girl loves aquariums, too.

She was three and had an absolute blast. I was even able to drown a worm or two between tying knots and baiting hooks. Sounds like you have Ace building a good foundation! :) I took my daughter fishing for the first time this year. She was three and had an absolute blast.
