but of course, I am a slave to the Williams (bills). My father introduced me to fishing as a young boy when he took me out to the rocks in Redondo Beach. He set me up with some bait to bottom fish while he throw out the old feather & bubble to hook up some bonitos.
Since I found out that fishing might be a weekend hobby the wife will enjoy doing with me, I try out freshwater fishing. I've been on the quest for catching my first LMB for a couple of months and have learned so much from reading all the great advice in this forum. The quest was finally over with a 1 hour visit before work to El Dorado yesterday. After 15 minutes of throwing a 3 inch trout colored crankbait, I pulled in one which was about 10 inches. After snapping the picture, it was released. Still working on my cast accuracy because in 2 more cast, one got snagged in the reeds and left behind. I only bring this up because when I get home from solo trips, wife always ask (1) did you catch anything, (2) did you lose any lures? She knows worms are cheaper thats why she is fine with the bait & wait while reading a book.
