Come on man, PLEASE don't mention such a horrible word like "RECRUITING" That's what I've been doing in the Marine Corps for the past 2 years and 7 months!!! :-/ ;D

A fellow Knoxville Fisherman, good to go!!! I'm here in Knoxville myself and also fish Douglas. I'm going on a trip there this upcoming weekend! Good luck to ya and mabey we can share some info on how, what, when, and where the fish are biting there on Douglas!

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
