got you started in Bass fishing??
For me it was my Grandfather. He, my granddmother and myself sailed out to Cuttyhunk for a weeks Vacation one summer when i was about 9 or 10 and he walked me arond the island and spun a great yarn about the days he used to fish for Bass out there. He told me the stories of the Cutyhunk fishing club, the bass boats, bass stands, the world record bass of Mr Church, etc. he also told me that he didnt fish for them anymore because of the Moritorium and was scared that they might become extinct. We had alot of fun on Cuttyhunk when i was a kid, but i never fished it. that was my introduction, but I didnt catch a bass until I was 17. Sadly when i started fishing for bass, he was in his mid 80's and was too old to fish agian, but I knew he was proud as can be to know that his grandson was catching the fish that he loved so much that almost became extinct.
One day I will get out to the hunk and catch a fish for him
