i am blessed with grandparents who own a marina. it has a few great fisherman, and i have always loved sitting on the bench talking with them. they sparked my interest. however, i didn't catch my first bass till i was 8. before that, it was assorted grondfish and blues. however, that famed night, while we were snapper fishing, i got hooked to something that was tearing off my 712z. after a 10 minute battle, i brought my first striper, 26", aboard. we quickly released it, knowing how rare stripers were in ninigret pond. i've been hooked ever since.
