"I remember being about six and catching probably 2 to 3 bluegill. I was dead set that they were going to feed my family for the day. I remember being really upset when my uncle told me that it probably wasn't enough."

Favorite Fishing Story:
"This isn't necessarily one story but more of a collection of stories. My grandpa used to live on a bluff over the current river in Doniphan Missouri. I would stay about a week with him every summer and we would start every day by getting up and checking the limb lines we had set the night before. I remember being so excited pulling up and seeing the tree limb bounce up-and-down in the water because it meant that we had caught something. I'll never forget cutting up squares of what my grandpa called cotton seed cake to use as bait."
