Some people were born to fish… I was one of those people. I grew up in Northern Indiana in a town called Lakeville with over 250 acres (3 lakes) of water 1 mile from home. It didn’t take long for me to explore every inch of shoreline to find the best fishing holes. When I was 13 my Uncle George gave me my first boat… which I still fish out of when I go home to visit. What keeps me fishing? The one that got away… and believe me, there were many!
