I was browsing the forum the other day and the angling thread caught my eye. I love fishing.
That thread is what prompted me to join.
I'm a retired electrician, musician, and one of the best anglers I know. I have two
prior state records to my name. A Lake Michigan whitefish I caught surf fishing for steelhead.
The other was also an accidental catch caught while fishing for bluegills. A black bullhead.
These two fish put me in the record books twice which no other angler in my state has done.
Both of these records have since been passed, but I'm still the only one with two. Arcived*
My wife and I both retired a few years ago and moved to a very rural area in Michigan's lower
peninsula. There is a pond right next to our home which has some very niced sized fish.
I feed the hybrid bluegills from May through October. The largest I've caught was 13 1/4. Hybrids
are a cross between a female green sunfish and a male bluegill. They grow faster and larger than
normal bluegills. Largest perch was 16 1/2", the largest bass was caught by a boy scout as they
used to have jamborees and camp out on the property. It was almost 23 " and weighed 7 lbs on
an old de-liar. That's a huge bass for Michigan.
This last spring, I added some red-eared sunfish and it may take a year or two before I catch
any of them as they were only two to four inches when planted. I also stock fathead minnows for the perch to eat. Two gallons of them in the spring and another 2 gallons in the fall which gets
them through the winter.
Here is where I'll add some youtube vids.

I've played guitar for almost 60 years and have
a bunch of stuff at my Soundcloud page. The newest listed at the
top. A mix of rock, blues, country and jazz.

Future # 1 Anesia
Garlic Cookies or GMO Cut AAAAA +++++ A friend who has grown medicinally for a very long
time gave me some cuts. This strain has been tested at 37.4%. Most of the
highest THC percentages I've grown from seed have been around 30%
Papaya Cake Cut AAA
Gorilla Bubble GLG Tony Greens Tortured Beans
White Widow Seed Stockers
Gelato Good Buzz
GG#4 Cut AAAAA. Much better than the one right below from Expert Seeds
GG#4 Expert Seeds
OG Kush Sensible Seeds
Royal Gorilla Royal Gorilla from Royal Queen seeds. Suspected herm. This is the one
I suspect of sullying my daughters in a 4x4 run with 6 varieties. 2
oscillating fans in the tent and one blowing 425 cfm into the tent and
another pulling the air out. All of the circulation caused all of the
plants to produce seeds. The Royal Gorilla had the most and I also read
at another forum that this strain was known for going herm. I wish
I had known beforehand.
Gorilla Breath Humboldt AAAA
Slurricane Anesia
Snowcaine Twenty20 Mendicino through GLG
Sour Strawberry BOG
Blue Kush BOG

Aside from the cuts my grower friend gave me, ones I've started from seed I would do again
are Gorilla Breath from Humboldt, Vanilla Frosting from Anesia Seeds, Future#1 also from Anesia
seeds, Sour Bubble from BOG, Blackberry Moonrocks from Anesia, and my most recent is Snowcaine
from Twenty20 Mendicino seeds bought from GLG.

Bartender says, "Why the long faces?"
Steelhead (rainbows)
This trophy weighed 17 lbs 4 oz and was caught fishing with waders
in the surf of Lake Michigan using a 2 lb test leader. It took almost a
half hour to "worry" him to shore.
Custom rods I build. Usually longer 10 to 15' noodle rods for light
line presentations. The thread art can take longer than the time it
takes to do the eyelets, cork, and reel seat.
