I've seen those pikes and muskies on that TV show River Monsters. They look prehistoric and scary.
I grew up in the Atchafalaya Basin Swamp and the Gulf of Mexico. Morgan City, La. Check it out on a map. I only swim in pools.....
I fished a good bit when I was younger. Freshwater bass and saltwater speckeled trout and reds. In my adult life I was racing dirt bikes until last year when I busted my ass real good. So I just started bass fishing again. I went in the Gulf in May and caught some reds and specs with a friend. All my friends have boats and fish a good bit. So I'm starting to get back into it more. I had just never fly fished before. I have a Orvis fly rod set up though, my uncle left it for me after he died. It is a heavy saltwater setup.
I'm a 6hdcp golfer and used to play Amateur tournaments when I wasn't racing. However I spend more time at soccer fields now with my 8 yr old boy. I'm coaching his team this fall. In fact we are going to Houston on Friday to watch Lionel Messi, his favorite player, play for Argentina against Bolivia. I've never seen a real mens's soccer game live, so it should be fun.
I have a few more pics of my trip in Utah and Colorado. I didn't want to bore ya'll with the family vacation pics in Canada, Montana, and Wyoming. I've been busy working on Rover and other things around the house that I neglected during the prep for the AK trip.
