Hey y'all! I've been fishing for about 40 years... the majority for trout in lakes or clear moving water out West. Then I moved to Missouri and had some learning to do. For example, I took my kid to a fishing rally and only brought salmon eggs when the pond was stocked with bluegill and white bass (we kinda skunked that day). So, I got my brother-in-law into bass fishing - buying him a tackle bag kitted out with hooks, plastics, etc - mostly because he's my bro-in-law, but also because he's retired on a lake with a pontoon boat and I wanted in! He's happy and I'm happy catching 1-2 lb largemouth, but we're still waiting to land a lunker!
