Not in AZ! Have to stalk me in summer!

My relatives live on a private lake and the fishing is phenominal! I had not fished in 55 years so this looked like a great place to start again. I borrowed a spinning rod from my brother-in-law and cast next to a weed bed across from the deck on the water's edge. The lure hit the water and immediately a bass struck it and leaped around a foot up in the air (I am not even sure the lure hit the water). That was a fantastic experience for the first time in 55 years and to make it perfect as I set the hook the reel fell apart. I didn't check to see that who ever had used the reel before me had not tightened down the screw when they switched from left to right handed. I went out and bought a baitcaster, a spinning reel, a fly rod and reel, and a ZEBCO Omega PRO3. You can see my first attempt after 55 years didn't discourage me. The rest of the trip was great many 3, 4 and even a 6 pound Big and Small Mouth Bass.
