Well first off, i really enjoyed reading everyones posts. I'd have to say I was just born into fishing. My brothers, who are much older than me, were already addicted to bass fishing by the time i came around. I dont even remember catching my first fish, but i do remember my first trip to KY Lake when i was about 3. I just loved it. When I got a little older my granny would take me down to the city park all the time, catchin bluegill and little cats. Then when i was 6 my oldest brother introduced me to bass fishing.. and topwater fishing at that. Those are some of my best memories, throwing that prop bait on those clear strip pits, watching those bass come up and look at it before the strike. I was totally hooked from that point.
