WHEN I WAS ABOUT 12YRS OLD I WAS FISHING AT A LOCAL BASEBALL PARK. WHEN MY COACH WALKED UP AND ASKED ME WHY I QUIET BASEBALL,I TOLD HIM THAT I DON'T BELONG ON THE FIELD, I BELONG ON THE WATER. THE NEXT DAY HE TOLD ME THERE WAS A SPOT ON THE TEAM OPEN FOR ME. WHILE WE WERE TALKING A BIG BASS SWAM UP TO MY LURE AND ATE IT. AT THAT TIME I DID NOT REALIZE MY LINE WAS RIPPING AND IT SNAPPED. WHEN IT SNAPPED THE FISH SWAM AWAY AND JUMPED OUT OF THE WATER AND LOOKED LIKE HE SMILED AT ME. FROM THAT DAY ON MY GOAL IS TO CATCH THAT EIGHT POUND BASS NAMED "THE BASS FATHER"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
