How did you find out about this site, and when you registered... (and a little about myself)

[LCpointerKILLA]

Weren't you surprised how much information there was? When I first registered I only looked at the General Bass Fishing Forum, thinking that there was too much to read. Now I post all the time and am growing into a better angler than most of my buddies by coming to this site.

I credit most of what I know about bass fishing to this site. This site probably is what turned me into an enthusiast for bass fishing. Originally I looked at this site when I was trying to become more successful at fishing the Carolina rig. Who would have thought I would be checking this out more than my E-mail?

Who has helped you out on the bass forums? I have learned so much from the moderators, old timers, and I am always looking forward to reading anything writen by members like T-rig, Hawg Caller, and Fourbizz. Thanks guys.

To be honest, the last few months I have been fishing a lot, and coming to this site all the time. The reason for this is that I'm on probation, and bass fishing is pretty much all I can do. Partying is something that I LOVE, but bass fishing has really has helped the time go by, and fishing is my FAVORITE thing to.

Thanks Broddas for everything!

I had caught a nice bass and was trying to photograph by myself.  A jogger was running by and offered to to help.  He told me about BR and here I am.  I don't know who the jogger is nor do I know his screen name but thank you to whom ever you are.

If the mysterious jogger reads this, It was in Sherbrook Estates.

I was researching bass fishing and stumbled on the BR articles. After a couple weeks of reading those I clicked on the forums button.

[Catt]

I was an assistant moderator over on Bass Fishing Home Page.com on MSN when I found this site after doing a search on Yahoo. I've always thought these guys know what they are talking about this was in the late 90s or early 2000s. BFHP eventually died & one day I was reading new articles before a trip to Toledo Bend when the word Forum just stuck out like a neon sign. Who have I learned from? Huh couldn't tell ya but it's dozens; some times I may sound like I don't agree when in the back of my mind a little light is faintly starting to come on.  

[Kimbro]

I learned about this site from a fishing buddy Mike Branch. Funny thing is, I've never seen him here. I joined probably about a year ago but am a man of few words when it comes to posting. I should post more but I get more enjoyment out of reading others' posts. I really enjoy the site and a big thanks to the mods and active members like Avid, Muddy, Redline Robert etc. that make this forum so enjoyable.

I was at work one weekend in Feb 05. I googled something to do with bass fishing and this site popped up. It was the first bass fishing forum I had ever been so I checked it out and signed up. I quickly got addicted to the place and have been stuck here ever since. I think I was the 365 member to sign up.

[Low_Budget_Hooker]

My fishing partner forwarded me the link and said "There is some good reading in the "articles" at this place."

I had NEVER used a forum board previously.

And here we are :  11,896 posts later,lol.  I bet RW was in the same boat.

[Korea_Bassin]

I found BR through a web search while looking for bass information.  I've been on this site for about 5-6 years now, but just checked out the forum for the first time a couple of weeks ago.  Why?  Because most forums I have come across on the web are full of argument and bickering and personal attacks between different groups within the forum and I'm just not into that stuff.  Well, when I finally checked out the forum here, what I discovered really surprised me and I now check in a couple of times a day just to see what's going on in other parts of the fishing world and have a few good hearted chuckles.  The members here are nothing short of fantastic...always helpful and willing to offer their opinion or advice, but not in a way to ridicule anyone else.  Easily the friendliest forum of any type I have ever been on.  Another thing that I find surprising is the way that people seem as though they have known each other for years.  Maybe they have in some cases, but I suspect that in other cases, they have never met besides here.  I really appreciate the forum and the friendly people who visit here.  Maybe I can be of assistance to someone some day.

Next time any of you are in Korea, shoot me a line.

[Low_Budget_Hooker]

Your comments are very appreciated,  They also hit the nail on the head.  We make a lot of effort to follow Glenn's mission statement and  run a "different" kind of board.  

We are a family here.  Sure, families have arguments and differences of opinion but in the end, when handled with respect,we find that we are still family.

Next time someone asks you if you have any brothers or sisters, just say,.."Yup,....11,880 of them"

[roadwarrior]

I don't actually recall "finding" the Forum, but this was the first forum

of any kind I had ever joined. Internet chit-chat was just not my thing.

My, how things have changed!

(post # 11,918,....I guess so bud!! )

[Bassin_Fin@tic]

Yup,found this place while searching for tips on a certain technique.Been reading articles for prob 2 years here,never even checked the forum as I hate internet chatting and message rooms in general.Also just like POINTER said,I thought it was just too much info to try to scan through at first.Boy was I wrong!

 This place is great! I always send threads and articles to my buds and try to get them to join too.

  Also wanted to take a sec to thank the various members and mods that frequent these boards.Some of the long time members for making this place enjoyable and the mods for making it tolerable.

 When I win the lottery(LOL ) My dream trip is to basically just tour the U.S and fish anywhere and everywhere I can In my new Triton.I would then post a thread here and ask everyone if they would be interested in going. I would definitely love to meet a lot of the people here and spend some good times flippin fish over the rail.

[MALTESE FALCON]

Back around 2004 is when I first started visiting BassResource.com. I was a member of N.A.F.C. for a few years and it was getting pretty lame. I was looking for a fish weight calculator and one of the other members said I should check out this "fantastic bass fishing site".

I've never been a big fan of forums, in fact, in three years at N.A.F.C. I had barely 200 posts. Now here in less than a year and a half I have over 1300. Thanks to a great group moderators and a friendly and informative group of people, I feel "AT HOME".

Thank you Glenn for starting and maintaining such a great place, and allowing me to be a part of it.

I found this place while looking for parts for a couple of reels. I found Reel Mechanic's website, which has a link to here. I spent a few months just reading the articles before even looking at the forum. I'm like RW; the whole chat-room thing did not appeal to me at all. Things do indeeed change.

I eventually took a look at the forums, liked what I found, lurked around for a while, finally registered, and have been here ever since. It's been a little over two years since I signed up, and about 5 months since Glenn made me part of the crew. I've had some fun learning new stuff while working in the background in behalf of this site. The pay ain't much, but the challenges and learning opportunities are rewarding, in and of themselves. I like being a part of this, and being able to contribute, in a small way, to the place that has become a sort of home away from home.

This is quite a unique community we have here. It is rather like a large extended family, in many ways. There are some very knowledgable folks here; RoLo, Chris, Fish Chris, Raul, Reel Mech, Matt Fly and George Welcome come to mind, and I'm sure I missed a few that will occur to me later. We also have some not-so-knowledgable people too; and what family doesn't have a few of those? There are some very opinionated members, a few hotheads, a group of funny guys, some just plain weirdo's, and several cantankerous old farts. ( Yeah, I know. I resemble that remark. ) What's really cool is, I have a bunch of new friends I've never met, several of whom I talk to on a regular basis.

What's also so cool is you can ask anything here and get an answer from somebody who knows what they're talking about. Getting answers from some who obviously don't know what they're talking about is just part of the fun.

So, thanks Glenn for starting this up, and keeping it running so smoothly. Thanks to all the mod's for everyting you do to keep this place on an even keel. And thanks to all the members for joining the family.

Cheers,

GK

I didn 't find the site, not even looked for it, I was directed to it as usual when somebody asked the question ( generally speaking ) that always makes me join a site: Bass fishing in Mexico ?, in this case I think it was Rebbasser who drove me here.

[BassinWill301]

I found out about this site from the podcast BassFeed.  

I believe it was LBH who was being interviewed and he mentioned bassresource so I went and checked it out.

That definitely sums it up. Being able to ask questions and get answers from excellent bass fisherman is what has helped me out so much.

[grimlin]

Found this site back in may mentioned by another site.Didn't start posting serious till fall when my fishing season closed.Once April/may comes around i'll probably disappear again.. ;D

[fisherdave]

I had just got my boat and was searching some things on how to modify it and came across this web site. Its a great web page and lots of good people with great advise. I want to thank everyone that has helped me with any question I have had its nice to know you have some where to go and ask questions or just BS with good people.

Thanks to all and especially Glen

FisherDave

What about Glen what made you think of this and to keep it going as long as it has and did you think it would ever turn into something like this?

[Guest avid]

It was just another day at work, surfin the web for porn when I accidentally typed a b in fornt of my interest of the day.   Lo and behold there was this strange light that filled the room and music that sounded like............angels singing.  

with trembling fingers I opened up the website and my life was changed forever.

And that's the absolute truth bud.

It wouldn't be as funny if is wasn't so true...

I learned of this site from my cousin Cigarlover.  He was home for the hollidays back in 06 and showed it to me.  

I have learned alot and have tried many of the things I have read on here so it was a great thing to find out about.
