How long have you been angling?

[MuskieBait]

Been fishing for 20 years.

During my undergrad, I probably fished 100 days a year...usually 3-4 times a week.

Fished in 2 provinces (ON and BC...also fished a day in QC)

Fished in 10 states (CA, FL, GA, HI, IL, MD, MA, NY, TX, VA)

Fished in 8 other countries (Belize, St. Kitts and Nevis, China, Malaysia, Thailand, Australia, France, Greece)

Don't catch the most (quantity), or the biggest (quality), and still have countless skunk days. Don't focus on any one species...in fact, usually only fish a few days for each species. Bass are usually incidental catches (don't get that bass obsession at all).

Have caught 355 species, from 1" Rainbow Darter to 120lb Yellowfin Tuna. Last year alone I caught 127 species of fish, both new and recaptured. Guess I'm a "jack of all fish, master of none"...which is absolutely fine by me.

Fish all methods - spinning, baitcast, conventional, float, fly, ice, bottom bouncing, baitrunner/method, downrigger trolling, deepsea/outrigger trolling, vertical jigging, free lining, bottom fishing...etc...love to try popping one day for some sick GT's.

31 years young...still so much more to learn and experience...and so many more places to fish. Too many places to fish, so little time and money...
