Howdy all,
I guess I will use this as an introduction thread as well. My name Is Jason, I'm 26 years old and a former Airforce Veteran. I began fishing when I was a toddler growing up in Bakersfield, California. Grew up fishing the Forks of the Kern and Lake Isabella with my father. Moved out here to AZ several years ago and have finally gotten the itch to get into bass fishing. I've gone out to Saguaro Lake a few times over the past couple of months and caught a beautiful large-mouth weighing in at 8lbs/22inches, from there I was hooked!
Had the privilege of meeting Gary Senft at Bass Pro a few weeks ago and he was kind enough to walk me around the store and suggest some Bass tackle. Thank you again, Gary! Also spent a couple hours speaking with David from the Bass Pro fishing department and absorbed all of the knowledge and recommendations he had to offer. Another special thanks goes out to him.
Anyway, I'm back in college pursuing a degree in Cisco Network Administration and would love the chance to head out to the local lakes on my free time. Teaming up with an experienced fisherman would certainly be an added bonus as well. I look forward to chatting with most of you and picking your brains and hope to get the opportunity to spend a day on the lake with a fellow angler!
Take care and good luck to all of you on the water!
