"Fishing Gear" is one of the first things I check off my annual spring cleaning list. I always change out my fishing lines. This year it's Berkley Big Game. Clean and lube my reels and rods. Sharpen my hooks.Buy new tackle. Organize my tackle. This year the tackle goes in a new Berkley tackle bag. The new bag also goes nicely with my new WFN hat I received as part of

       I usually fish for Smallmouth Bass, but on this day I hooked into this chubby Largemouth Bass. I would estimate it was in the low 6's. It could have been more or less, as I am a bad estimater.

Thank's Candice.

I figured I would start the new year off by updating my WFN profile. 2011 was an excellent year for fishing. I caught a lot of Bass and Salmon. 2012 will be an amazing year as well. I plan on going twice as much as I did last year, which was 3-4 times a week. I would like to blog more, but I can't, I gotta go fishing. See you out there.
