We come from a family of fishing enthusiasts. As a young child, I was introduced to fishing. My grandparents were avid fishermen and a fishing trip always seemed the centerpiece of every visit. Digging for squirming red worms in the garden and plopping them in a rusty coffee can provided great adventure.  Cane poles and farm ponds, coupled with an occasional boat trip fulfilled this young boy’s dreams. I have many wonderful memories of comfortable time floating in a boat with my mother and father catching fat bluegills, memories I will cherish forever.
