Chuck Norris called me.   He said, "Join Bassresource or I will kick your butt".

I listened.

I found it during a serch for some information and was amazed by how much was here. I just read articles and forum entries for 6-8 months before actually joining.

While searching for information on Bass Fishing and Lures, I clicked on a link from another site. I have only been registered now for just a few hours. However let me say that I have yet to find a site that was so informative, intense and dedicated to the Angler. Just the past few hours has really encouraged me to learn more about bass fishing and wanting to dive in deeper.

I have alot of time on my hands since medical retirement from back and neck surgery. Hard to find alot of things to do that can relax you and help with pain issues... Last year while on vacation, my cousin invited me to go with them fishing that evening. I had never been one to do serious fishing. I have always been and outdoors person camping, motorcycles etc. but not fishing.

Well to make a long story short, that day I caught a 20 pound and 16 pound catfish with in and hour and a half. I have been HOOKED ON FISHING sense.

My wife and I have purchase a 16 foot Alum boat with 25 hp Johnson, Trolley motor, rods reels, tackle and I dont know what all. We try our best to wet a hook every chance we get....

I do wish to thank all those that put so much time in to newbies like me and teaching them with the vast amount of experience you have learned and now sharing. I wished that I had not wasted so many years of my life by not getting in the waters earlier with this great hobby.
