Favorite Fishing Memory:

I remember my first bass. I borrowed an old Heddon Tiny Lucky 13 popper from my dad's old fishing stuff and went down to the pond behind my house. I didn't really have an idea of what I was supposed to do as far as making it work other than to cast out and make it pop. My first cast I let it settle and before I could even give it any action, it was engulfed in a jumping fury by a 3+lb largemouth. I caught several other fish on that lure after that. It is now retired and is displayed.
