Hello all from central IL! I’ve been a lurker for a while now. I’ll never have the knowledge that I read on here but I’ll chime in where I can. I grew up trapping, hunting, and fishing for stripers, bass, bluegill, and catfish on the Mississippi River with my grandpa and father. I married a beautiful Wisconsin girl who outfishes me all the time. Now at 43, I have 4 kids who are becoming addicted to the outdoors like we are. I’m excited to join in on some conversation and continue my knowledge about bass fishing!
