txfisherman Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 54 years old, Married to my lovely wife of 18 years (who supports my fishing habit), 3 grown children and 2 step-daughters (all having families of their own), 11 grand-children (combined with hers and my children), living on the southeast side of Houston Texas in the town of La Porte. Have lived in the same address for the past 19 years. Have been fishing since I couldn't really tell you when I started, but I have seen pictures of me with a fishing pole in my hands at the lake when I was a little tike. I have fished as a weekend angler for fun, then as a Clubber for several years, now for the last six (6) years have fished on the competitive fishing circuit as semi-professional (Bass-N-Bucks - East Texas Trail). I started fishing the team circuit with a partner where we fished out of his 21' Bullet with a 150 Suzuki, in our first year we didn't make the cut to fish the Championship, the next year I spent most of the year alone, made the cut to fish Championship, then the last 3 years I have a reliable partner and we fish out of his boat for the most part ('05 Skeeter SX190 w/ 150 Yamaha), and have made the cut each year. Each year has been a little better in the ranking, the last 3 years go 97, 93, and 84 out of approximately 300 teams. Gaining experience on Sam Rayburn and Toledo Bend. One day hope to move to my lake house on Toledo Bend (La. side on Negreet Cove), where possibly be able to compete more on a regular basis and maybe even pick up some guide work there. Thanks for having me on the forum and letting me ramble for the time. Shoot me a line if you wish to talk about fishing on the trail and either lake. I can share what I know. See you on the water, and may all your fish be Large. Quote
