I have been fishing my whole life from the age of 5. I used to go fishing with my dad for Largemouth Bass and Catfish in the Tennessee River and on Kentucky Lake. I fished for Striped Bass in Lake Cumberland, Kentucky, and in San Francisco Bay after I joined the military. I even picked my military assignments based on where the best fishing opportunities were located. Besides the Striped Bass in San Francisco, I also fished for Salmon, Halibut, and Sturgeon. I took assignments in Washington State so I could fish for Steelhead Trout and King Salmon, and I went to Alaska to fish for King Salmon and "Barn Door" Halibut. I retired from Hawaii where I fished for Mahi Mahi, Swordfish, Sailfish, and Marlin to name a few. I spent 28 years in the US Army and I traveled the world. When I was in Okinawa, Japan I fished for Tuna and Mahi-mahi. In Germany, I fished for Trout mostly and Carp on occasion. But my favorite fishing has been right here in the Gulf of the Emerald Coast.
