About Buddy:

I grew up a worm drowner, fishing for trout and perch using nothing more than a hook and a bobber. Our grandfather used to take a trolling for kokannee out of Mason Lake. He would take my twin brother and I in his 12' aluminum boat that had an old Sears 3 1/2 hp motor on it. We would rig up our poles with pop gear, a snubber and wedding ring tipped with a maggot. No down riggers or fish finders for us. We would count out the depth from our reel to the first eyelet, 2 feet, letting out 90 feet of line. It wasn't often that we caught many fish, but when we did, it was hard to hide our excitement and pride.

My grandparents sold their cabin in 1995 and I didn't pick up a rod for quite some time after that. Too many memories of fishing out their with my grandpa I guess. When I moved to Coeur d'Alene and met my wife I re-discovered my love of fishing. One small plastic frog cast towards the shore on Hayden Lake that quickly met it's match in a largemouth bass and I was hooked!

Now I have a 14ft aluminum boat that reminds me of my grandpa's boat. It has a 1958 Johnson 10 hp Seahorse. I have a minnkota trolling motor on the back a fishing buddy fish finder that works sometimes.

I enjoy taking my girls out fishing and watching their excitement when they hook up with a bluegill or small perch. I hope I give them the same love of fishing my grandpa gave me.

About Buddy:

Really tired of this winter and not being able to get out and fish. Me and my three year old son are ready to take a boat out and catch some bucketmouthes and some saugeyes in central ohio. Have been fishing every weekend and every other chance i get for over a year now. My grandpa and me use to fish a lot before that, but he passed away to lung cancer a few years ago.
