I started fishing about 2 yrs ago. I' ve been everywhere from local ponds catchin bass to small rocky rivers after trout and smallmouth and even the mighty mississipi catchin catfish that took two men to get in the boat. This year Im goin to some lakes after the large mouth which has by far got my attention the most(we dont have any lakes with a good smallmouth pop) I cant wait till this rain quits and the temp rises. Yeah I bought my 8 year old a fishin pole for his birthday and thought i better get one too just to keep him company. Been fishin like mad ever since
