daiwaguy Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Not sure why I am just now getting around to doing this but here it goes. My name is Eric and I live in Columbia Missouri. I started fishing Tourneys my senior year of high school in 06'. I have made the state tourney a few times through our club the Mexico Bass Masters where I am the current Treasurer. As you can tell by my user ID I am a huge Daiwa fan though I do own a pair of Revos. This last May I married my best friend of 6 years and we bought our first home together in June. The funny thing about our relationship is I am 6'7" 255lbs and she is 5' even and about 105 lbs wet so it makes for alot of interesting conversations. She supports my fishing which I love about her, but she was not real happy when I pulled up with a bass boat behind the truck the month after we bought our house. I am still not sure why she was upset, but she liked the lights on the trailer so that was a plus. I read alot of material on this site before becoming a member and learned so much that I had to become a member. I have even been using the sponsors of this site for all of my recent purchases. I sent Ron at Valley Sports an order for 4 rods at the beggining of the month and the transaction went great. I fish alot of Missouri lakes suck as Table Rock, Bull Shoals, Wappapelo, Truman, Pomme De Terre, Mark Twain, Clearwater, and Stockton, but most 75% of my time is spent on LOZ. I fish alot of different techniques with my Favorites being bottom contact(T-Rig, C-Rig, and Jigs) and Traps/squarebills. One technique I rarely use but am really wanting to get into is the swimbait. I am also wanting to get into some smallmouth fishing considering my house is less than 1 mile from River access and a 1 hour run to some good smallie streams. Anyway that is my Introduction and I am looking foward to getting to know all of you. PS- The fish in my Avatar was a weird day. I was retrieving a lure from a stump when the line in my hand started to run. Quote

Super User Darren. Posted January 31, 2014 Super User Posted January 31, 2014 Better late than never! Eric, your avatar suggests you went diving for that bass. Is that because you're so tall that you lost your balance? Or were you going Larry Dahlberg on that bass? LOL Anyhow, welcome aboard. Quote
daiwaguy Posted January 31, 2014 Author Posted January 31, 2014 Actually it is about 10 ft deep there and the bass had taken it around a stump. So I dove down to unwrap the line and as soon as I did it took of in my hands. So needless to say hand over hand I went till he was lipped. Quote
