hello from central illinois, just wanted to say hi. ive been fishing for as long as i can remember, and can still remember the first largemouth i caught. I couldnt have been older than six or seven and was throwing a blue and chartuese spinner bait! Since then ive been completely addicted, to the point of obsessive if you ask my wife, I joined a buddy bass club and started tourney fishing as well. Looking forward to meeting fellow fisherman, learning new things, and sharing a few things as well(cant tell all my secrets!)
