I've posted a number of replies over the past few days. This site is a good resource. I've been fishing my whole life, grew up with a brackish water creek in my backyard. Used to catch eels with killies for bait. Then carp on corn. Graduated to perch. Then moved west and didn't fish for a long time. Got back in fishing for salmon on the Olympic Peninsula. Learned how to flyfish for salmon. Wow. That's a kick. Then learned to steelhead fish. Taught my son at age 4 to catch a salmon. Then taught him to flyfish around 10 for trout & steelhead. As you can see, I like to ramble. Then something happened to my budding flyfisher when he was 11 years old. He was watching TV on the weekends in the morning and began watching bass fishing shows. Bill Dance, Roland Martin & the like. Then he said he wanted to bass fish. Well, I didn't know squat about bass fishing, absolutely zilch. Fortunately a buddy of his from school lived on a piece of property with a 32 acre pond on it stocked with largemouth. The rest is history. I learned bass fishing by default and y'know what? I like it. It's a heckofa lot of fun and it's given me a lot of time with my boy. I've had the opportunity to watch him grow as a fisherman. He surpassed me a couple of years ago in ability. He loves it. He loves competing and the tournament fishing. So we've been members of a bass club here for a few years and he fishes both TBF and BASS. He's been to the Nat. Guard Jr. Worlds in 2008 and the BASS Casting Kids Nat. finals twice. Yeah, I'm proud of him. He loves this stuff and I support him in it.

Welcome home!

that is very great to have a son who is so into it and good at it.  I wish to be like that with my children one day.

Thanks, yeah he's a good kid. It's awesome to watch him say things like " Hey Dad, see that little twig over there, watch this" and he pitches it right next to it quite as a mouse. Terrific finesse fisherman too, heckofa drop shotter.
