I’ve loved fishing as far back as I can remember with maybe a trip when I was 4 years old being the earliest I have a real memory of. I’ve pretty much always been somewhat competitive too starting at an early age, remembering my first trip in a boat when I caught 18 and my dad caught 14. How proud I was. Then my first ‘contest’ when I was about 8. I fished as hard as an 8 year old can winning a dollar for the most fish and a dollar for the biggest fish of the day. I lost my ‘big winnings’ through a hole in my pocket only to miraculously find the $2 in my rolled up pants leg later! I’ve got the bug… No doubt about it!
