Hello Kyler,
The best way to stay out of trouble is to pick up a hobby, and no better one than fly fishing. I can offer (free) an eagle claw 2 piece, 8'6" (I believe), 5wt fly rod I have at work. It's not new but it will give you many years of catching. I do want to make sure your dad is ok with it so please let him know. If he is ok with it then I'll ship it to you, I'm sure I have some flies here and there and I'll gladly send them to you as well. It would be nice if somebody else can help with a reel so you can have your setup.
Best of luck.
Martin
