Hello! I recently got back into bass fishing and fishing in general after I got medically discharged from the Air-Force. I have been fishing since I was about 4 years old. I became fascinated with bass fishing when I received my first Bill Dance DVD ( the spinnerbait one ) and boom my passion began. Since getting out of the military I finally decided to chase my dreams of educating people on fishing and also helping them find bargains! It has been a great community to be apart of and I wanted to broaden my horizons to joining forums. I'm honored to be apart of this forum. The bass resource YouTube channel actually helped me a-lot in my dark times in the military. I hope to gain more knowledge and friendships along my journey of following my dreams! Thank y'all for having me here!

Wellcome to bass resource.

Have been fishing off and on since I was about 18. Almost 28 now. Would have to say it’s been a solid 4 years of going pretty frequently. The middle to end of last year I got really into it and this year I’m obsessed with bass fishing.

 

I have taken the time to learn from trial and error about rod action/size/power and matching gear ratio to baits. Do a lot of bank fishing but also fish bigger lakes with my uncle on his boat. 
 

i live in New Hampshire and have yet to catch a large mouth over 2.8 lbs. i can catch smaller fish all day but I’ve recently started pairing rods and reels for their proper use.

 

 Top water/jerk:  Shimano Slx mgl 70 8.2:1/ 6’8 medium st. Croix Mojo Bass

 

Single hook combo:* jigs/Texas Rig/Chatter*: Shimano Chronarch Mgl 150 7.1:1/ 7’ heavy St. Croix premier.

 

cranks/small swim: Bass pro shop ion 6.1:1/ 7’ medium heavy Abu Garcia vendetta 

 

the cranking setup is my oldest and first baitcaster that I started to learn on. Before using a BC I was throwingeverything with a Shimano Sahara 2500 on a 7’ medium heavy abu Garcia veratas. Which has since been gifted to my youngest brother.

 

sorry for the run on explanation im sure most of you don’t care. I just really really found something I can’t get enough of.
