I'm noting that this is my 60th post and figure it's about time I got around to introducing myself!

I had already been chasing fish for 10 years when, in 1972, I made my first professional overrun on a casting reel for black bass. I've lived and fished just west of the Connecticut River since '81 and I thank Crestliner 2008 for telling me about this fine forum last year.

All things digital are relatively new to me: the Mac desktop I'm hunting-and-pecking away at arrived in 2010 and a Canon PowerShot D10 a year later. I'm still learning to use these great tools/toys and especially enjoy photography when there are 2 cameras involved! (Click on pics to enlarge.)

In the mid '90s a fishing buddy introduced me to the big, clear water of Quabbin Reservoir, one of the finest smallmouth bass fisheries in New England.

The Quabbin was particularly generous to me this year giving up a pre-spawn 5.8 lber

and the 6.0 you see in my avatar pic.

In the winter you'll find me at the bench:

On any given day I may be walking the dog, burning a tandem spin, jiggling a dropshot bait . . . but y'know, if the fish don't want to play, I'm still happy to be a (sometimes) bassmaster in this environment.

And I'm happy to be a contributing member of the BassResource community.
