Frogs N Hawgs Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 Hey there! I got bit by the fishing bug mid July last year in 2019 and have become borderline obsessed with it. Catching my first bass on a Texas Rigged worm was one of the more satisfying experiences I can recall of recent memory. From that point on I have dedicated a good chunk of my life to chasing down LMBs. Majority of the time, I am fishing the bank at small ponds hidden behind businesses, public ponds that are tucked away from the general public’s watchful eye, stocked private ponds, the Little Miami and Ohio River, and occasionally at the nearest State Park, Eastfork Lake. I’m always looking for new spots to get my fix. Heck, I’ll fish for anything including catfish, striped bass, carp, bluegill, gar, etc. If it swims, I’ll enjoy catching it, EXCEPT massive snapping turtles! I grew up being taught to just hook up a night crawler, throw it in, and wait for the bobber to disappear. That’s still a fun and relaxing way to catch em’, but I was never really aware of all the specific techniques involved with catching different species of fish. After trial and a lot of error, I finally landed my first LMB on an artificial bait, which seemed like it would never happen. You can’t go wrong with a Texas Rigged worm! My eyes were opened that moment and have been hooked ever since. In my eyes, fishing is therapy for the mind, body, and soul. You just can’t beat the pure thrill and satisfaction of a bent pole with a fish pulling drag. I have invested in rods, reels, tackle, baits, and more recently a fishing kayak. I now want to invest in knowledge. I enjoy learning new techniques and am always open to improving my game. I finally started catching hoards of topwater fish this spring which has only sparked my interest even more. I am glad I have become part of a community that not only shares my passion, but can help me become a better angler along the way! I look forward to sharing many more experiences out on the water with you all! I’m all in! -John 1 Quote
