Super User TOXIC Posted February 9, 2017 Super User Posted February 9, 2017 Lurked around a little on your corner of the internet and decided to join up. I was a 12,000+ posts member on another site and spent a lot of time helping others over 10 years of membership. Site owner severely wronged some of my close friends and I left on my own accord. All bass fishermen (and women) are a close knit bunch and I couldn't sit by and let that happen. User name is the same here so some may know me. Any way, I have been in the fishing industry for 40 years and look forward to helping out here. Any questions on Yamamoto, SPRO, Quantum, Gamakatsu and a few others in the industry are my strong points (staying within the rules). I run a slow Z21 Ranger that with the help of friends, have rehabbed nose to stern. May take me a while to get up to speed but looking forward to contributing. TOXIC Quote

Super User TOXIC Posted February 9, 2017 Author Super User Posted February 9, 2017 As for the nickname, I've had it for years and the story gets told over beers.....multiple beers!!! The boat has been done and now is just like any other (routine maintenance). I sold my guide boat when I was in Florida and moving back to Virginia. In the process of looking for a new ride, I came across a Ranger that had been stored outside under a bad cover for 2 years (owner passed) and it was full and I mean full of mold and creepy crawlers. Lotta hours spent bringing it back. Cleaning, rewiring, updating, full motor service, etc. It is one fine ride now. Quote

Super User TOXIC Posted February 10, 2017 Author Super User Posted February 10, 2017 In JAX I fished the St Johns (couple of tournament series and fun fishing), I had a house right on the river in Mandarin across from Dr's Lake. Job moved me down there and my wife and daughter stayed in Virginia and I commuted back and forth. Been in Virginia for 24 years and was a guide on Anna (both hot and cold side) and the Potomac for 15 years. I just didn't want to get back into it when I returned from Florida. Getting ready to retire so I may pick it up again. I was a pro staffer for Bass Pro for 15 years and I am still under contract but inactive for the time being. I still am on staff for Jack Links, SPRO, Yamamoto, Gamakatsu, Bullet Weights, Koppers, Live Target, Burris Scopes, StackOn Safes, Lansky Knife Sharpeners, Scent Lok, Quantum/Zebco and Gator Guards (KeelShield/BowShield/Hitch Guard/GatorSkinz/Gator Patch) and a few others. So, if you ever have any questions on those products feel free to ask. I travel for a Rep company and work shows for Bass Pro and Cabela's representing different products during their seasonal shows and some of their Grand Openings. As a matter of fact, I will be in the Hampton, VA Bass Pro all next weekend. So, I keep busy in the industry. Quote
