cambridgefisherman Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 Hello all, I am a student at Illinois State University. I am relatively new to fishing compared to most people as I have only been seriously fishing for around 4 years. I found this site while searching reviews for Daiwa Fuego reels. I am not sure how often I will be on being as how I moderate another site and am in charge of running tournaments on that site and also visit another forum as well, in addition to school work and of course fishing. But I will be on learning stuff and hopefully you can learn a thing or two from me as well. I hope to eventually work for the DNR in Fish Biology and use that to my advantage and fish tournaments eventually. I mainly fish for bass, but sometimes I will fish for panfish, namely crappie, and also catfish and walleye at times as well. I am also hoping to do some more musky fishing as well. I recently set my personal best for Largemouth Bass with a fish that was 23" long, 15" girth, and probly weighing somewhere between 6.5-7lbs on a Yo-Zuri rattlebait. My favorite reel company is Quantum and I love my Tour Edition baitcaster. I also am a fan of Abu Garcia as well. See you guys on the boards Quote

cambridgefisherman Posted April 4, 2009 Author Posted April 4, 2009 Welcome aboard! Lots of nice people here. Where do you normally fish? Down here I normally fish ponds here in town and I will sometimes head out of town and fish Evergreen Lake, Lake Bloomington, and Clinton Lake. I am originally from the Quad Cities area so back there I fish the Rock River, Hennepin Canal, and Snakeden Hollow. I also fish a lot of farm ponds in the area as well. Quote

ChiCityBasser Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Hello and welcome to the boards and nice to see someone else from Illinois joining the boards. I see we have something in common as far as Quantum being our favorite reel brand. I don't have the Tour Edition but do have a Energy PT and Accurist PT baitcasters. I also have the Catalyst PTI-A,Kinetic PTI-B and a older Quantum Incyte and love them. Again welcome Quote
