i can remember my grandpaw and great uncle taking me fishing every since i can remember and hold a pole. we did alot of crappie and bluegill fishing and down behind the tailwaters at barren catching trout when they would stock them on corn and cheese and salmon eggs. we went bass fishing just a few times not many and i can remember and my great uncle would always bring this up. i was about 5 years old at taylorsville and i cought a bass that was 14 and 3/4 inch long and i wanted to keep it but they threw it back so i got mad and threw my pole in the water. he never let me live that down all the way till the day he passed. and i know he is up their watching me when i fish so i try not to get mad when things are going wrong on the water and just enjoy being on the water.i just want to say thanks to them for taking me and getting me hooked on a great sport and past time. and now i am passing the torch down to my kids who love the lake and fishing to.
man i love fishing cant wait for spring my boy is already on me about going fishing i dont know who is jonesing more to go fishing me or him.

just remember someone took the time to take you fishing now take the time to do the same for kids or someone who never has fished before they will thank you later.
