Best Fishing Story:

In March of 1992 my brother and I while getting our gear ready for the upcoming open water season decided to set a goal for the year. Our goal was to catch a bass that qualified for the Maine “the one that didn’t get away” club. This was over 5lbs for smallmouth, and over 7lbs for largemouth. We spent a lot of time researching “big bass” tactics, and the waters we thought we could do it on. That year we caught 3 bass that qualified for the patch that the state awards! It was rewarding achieving our goals and even better doing it with my brother.
