Hello from Houston, TX where I'm literally a fish out of water!

[Mr. Stogie]

• Hey all! Originally from Chicago but grew up going to Spider Lake in Hayward, WI. When my parents retired and moved to their house on Spider, Hayward became "home". Unfortunately, they had to sell and move to Houston to be with my sister because their health was failing. I followed to Houston to help take care of them. That was 2012. I've been back to Hayward and my beloved Spider Lake only 2 times since 2012. I've fished two times down here in Houston on guided trips, once in the Inter-coastal waterway and another on Cedar Lake near Dallas. Slayed 'em both times. Trouble is I'm a Musky fisherman and here I am trying to learn how to saltwater fish and frankly, I'm not a fan. So I'm trading in my quest for the 50" Musky for the 12 lb Bass. 1) I'm too old (just turned 60) to fish Musky 10 to 14 hours a day like I used to, 2) you can't find Musky in Houston, TX and 3) I just retired and something has to change. And changing it is! I just bought a place on Sam Rayburn and now I'm looking for a new fishing vessel. I AM BACK, BABY! LET THE QUEST FOR THE 12 POUNDER BEGIN!

KP, you're not suppose to warn him - it's suppose to be a surprise.

I’d say Welcome to Texas, but you’ve been here a lot longer than me. So I’ll say Welcome to BR!

50" musky? 12-pound bass? Man, you set the bar high!
