Staff Sergeant--USMC Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 Hello to all!!! I'm new to this site and am looking forward to hearing/ telling some good stories and getting to know some of you folks. I'm also really looking forward to learning allot from you all! I'm fairly new to the Bass Fishing world. I say that I'm new, I'm just really new to bass fishing with artifical baits from a boat. I went a few times growing up with my Uncle, but I can count those trips on one hand. I fished allot in the creeks and rivers back home in the mountians of KY with crawdads and helgramites. If it was summer time, my cousins and I were wading the rivers! I bought a pontoon back a couple of years ago and started bass fishing pretty hot and heavy (well as much as my job would allow). I caught my biggest bass ever last June. It was a 5 pound 2 ounce Largemouth caught on Douglas Lake in East TN. I caught it on a Strike King 38 Special White Spinnerbait. I still have allot to learn about bass fishing, but thru my own study and research; I've already learned allot. One of the best tools that helped me learn was a 3 DVD set by Kevin Van Dam! I've learned what I've learned from videos, books, and magazines. I'm stoked about being here and actually having bass fisherman that I can turn to for advice and help. I look forward to talking with you all! By the way, I'm gonna go ahead and apologize in advance for asking sooooooo many questions! ;D Quote

Super User Sam Posted May 27, 2008 Super User Posted May 27, 2008 Sorry Staff Sargent, but you have another LSU Fighting Tigers fan here. But even though you love the Wildcats, welcome to the forum. Ask your questions and you will receive may suggestions. Read, read and read some more. There are some great books and DVDs out there that can make you a better bass fisherman. And may I suggest that you suscribe to Bassin Magazine? Best bass fishing magazine on the planet. Welcome aboard, even if the only sport that counts in Kentucky is the one where you bounce a ball on the floor and then try to throw it up in the air so it will go through this little hoop. ;D Quote

I'd rather be on the water or out hunting some sort of critter than watching a ball game! However, LSU still got beat by UK, and yes I know, "They are the National Champions" : but they still got beat by KY!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D Just giving yall a hard time, I rooted for them to win it all this year after UK was demolished!
