I have been a fisherman and hunter all of my life. I started fishing when I was really little with my Dad and my Brother. We would never buy our bait. We seined for shiners every time we went fishing. My dad and his brother shared boat. We would go fishing on that boat a lot. My best memory fishing was when we were on the boat at the damn. My dad said it was time to go but I wanted to stay. I asked him if could cast out one more time. A minute after I cast out, I had a bite. I thought it was a snag at first because it wasn’t moving. I kept reeling and it wound up being a huge catfish.
My brother and I would go hunting with my Grandpa. We would call him up to take us and he would do it mostly every time. We shot guns on my Uncle’s farm too.
