Hi, i'm Ken. I've introduced myself in the new member section and now thought it's time to stop by and say hello to my favorite circle of like minded folks: the Panfish forum! I'm surprise there is no Nevada state in the forum and i'm wondering why, it has lots of lakes and reservoirs teem with all sorts of gamefishes including crappies. But that's not why i'm here. I moved out of California years ago leaving behind prime waters and ocean full of large fishes and now i'm a UL angling fanatic. The jokes my fishing buddies used to make when visiting me is: "Las Vegas is getting bigger and brighter while its fishes are getting smaller!" These days only way to get my share of fishing fix is to hit the many local ponds, man-made lakes, and the ever drying Lake Mead. I'm especially thankful that even in the desert part of the country this sincity still hold great numbers of largemouth bass, bluegill, green sunfishe, and if one is crazy enough like me...going after what we call "tourist" fish, carp. So hello hope to learn lots from you all.
