I have been fishing sense I was 3 or 4 yrs old. I love the outdoors especially hunting and fishing. There is nothing more fun than catching a mess of Gills and Crackers when they are turned on. I chased the Green fish for years on several tournament trails in Fla. Tournament bass fishing is more work than fun. I still bass fish on an occasion especially when I find them stacked up. I am never without a bass rod (GL loomis ) . Fishing is a passion for me and my son. Unfortunately we don't get together often enough. I got heavy after the crappie after I broke my hip and femur. I don't miss an opportunity to catch a Hybrid or Striper whenever they rise. I have a 70 MPH boat that will only run 55 because of all the extra tackle. Anyone that is so wrapped up in just one species is missing out on a lot of fun. I never miss out on a opportunity to catch a fish. When it is so hot in mid summer I am catfishing at night. I fished salt water for years while living in Fla. I have caught most of the different species of salt water fish that Fla has to offer. I have caught trout and salmon in the great lakes. I have never caught a Small Mouth bass but would like too. Everyone tells me that the Spotted bass is just a spunky as the old Bornz back , but I still want one. I like to fish and cant afford to miss out on an opportunity to catch fish. Life is too short .
