benlee1 Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 Hello ladies and gentlemen, I would like to start with thank you to this forum, Alot of great folks here and alot of knowledge. I'm born and raised here in Fl. and my fishing roots go back to my late father Benny. He was a great fisherman and rolemodel and wish him and I could still wet a line together. I've been fishing hard at it for 45 years, bass are my passion, my first love. I also catch snook and tarpon but ther'es nothing like bass for me. Most of my fishing is limited to small lakes and ponds all of which are private, most are only fished bt myself and whom ever goes with me. In are area we only have Lake Tarpon, 2500 acres of the smartest bass in the world, they are pressured beyond belief. That being said these lakes and ponds I fish are hidden gems, we have many days a year that offer up those dream trips for the people I take. It's a blast for me to see the joy in their faces, especially the kids. That's what it's about for me, is passing that passion along to others and giving them days they will always remember, I love that about fishing. Thanks to everyone, Rusty Quote
