OleManHiggins Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Hey everyone, This is Chris from Richmond, Virginia. I got into bass fishing about two years ago in my year of college looking to get away from bottom fishing for catfish bobber fishing in ponds. I purchased a plastic worm kit from Bass Pro, watched some Youtube videos and haven't looked back since landing my first bass in the James River. I don't have a boat so I stick to the banks at state parks or the pier at Osborne Park Boat Landing in Varina, where I landed my personal best. My rods and reels are inherited from what relatives weren't using, so hopefully with some advice I'll upgrade them soon!! All in all I'm looking to learn new techniques, new areas, and meet people to fish with around Richmond, VA. I'm looking forward to all everyone at bass resource has to offer!! Thanks in advance!!
