I am 79 and had to retire after becoming disabled back in 2001. My last fishing trip was tp Lake Casitas where I "almost" landed a 20lb_+ Largemouth Bass. Unfortunately I had tied the fishing not which I had not done in 20+ years. It was 3 inches from being pulled in and the line broke. My son and a friend both witnessed it. On the same day, I caught my largest largemouth bass of my fishing career; an 8 1/2 pounder. I still get nauseated when I think of the lost lunker. I am unable to fish any longer because of my disability but I enjoy watching it on TV when see a program. . I like fresh water fishing and have fished in MN, Canada, OH, and CA for Bass, Northern Pike, Walleye and some panfish. My hobbies today are reading, studying Scripture and taking on-line Theology/Philosophy courses.
God bless all you fishermen/women.
