It was a thrill to hold this Mexican Eagle at Mineral Wells State Park !!
When I started bass fishing in 1999 and caught my very first
Sandbass, on my very first fishing trip, I was the one that was "Hooked"!!
Never did I envision how involved I would become in the world of Bass fishing,
from catching my first Sandbass on Richland Chambers to a trip to Lake Fork
where I caught my first seven-pounder.
Tournaments followed. I started fishing with the
Women's Bass Fishing Assn and the Lake Area Lady Anglers on Sam Rayburn and
Toledo Bend, and then venturing into world of rod building.
What started as a challenge to myself to build my own
Bass rods, turned a hobby into an addiction and a business.
The greatest aspect about Bass fishing and rod
building has been the valued friends I have made over the years, and the
wonderful people I have met along the way....
