Hello to everyone. My brother pointed me to this website last year, but it was just recently that I noticed the 'readers forum' tab. I'm 30 years old, and aside from military duty I lived in the Puget Sound area until Oct.2000 until events beyond my control caused me to move. As my name implies, I live in Oklahoma City, OK. I grew up as a trout fisherman, but since have changed my focus to the various species of Spiney ray. Of course the change in location has something to do with it, but in reality my focused changed when my brother and I realized that Black Crappie are available in Ohop Lake.
I still like to keep in touch with what's happening back in good 'ol WA as far as fishing is concerned, and this website is the best way to do it. Never tried fly-fishing, but I may someday if I move back. I'm really enjoying the Bass, and I practice CPR when doing so. (catch,photo,release) My largest so far is a 4 plus pounder. In my opinion crappie, walleye and perch are the best tasting fresh water species...along with bluegill. I haven't had much opportunity for salt-water fishing.
I appreciate the wealth of information available from all of the different anglers that visit this site.
I've been enjoying the 85-90 degree weather and doing some pond hopping for Largemouth lately. Catching one on a topwater offering is a complete rush!
