Here I am, 50+, married, with one grown son, and a daughter and son in college. The only fishing I had ever done was with my Dad off the rocks on the soutwest end of Lake Michigan next to all the steel mills. Went out with a co-worker this spring (bass boat, experienced tournament guy, etc) and got me hooked as you can get. Mostly pond fish in the area right now I'm looking forward to learning more..
