About Me

Hi Everyone,
I'm a trophy smallmouth bass living in Lake Champlain. My days and nights are spent surviving in this juggernaut called nature. By design, I'm an aggressive individual, a predator. Artificial bait and hooks make me terribly upset. If I ever get hooked, watch out!
Also, I must say, being from New York and going to college in NYC, I'm a big Yankees fan.

My Interests

Eating, swimming, resting, ambushing, and shacking up with my lady friends in the spring.

I'd like to meet:

Crayfish, minnows, hellgramites, and insects, particuarly mayflies.
If I'm treated with love and care, I wouldn't mind meeting a few anglers.
I have a soft spot for fly fishermen.

Music:

I get spooked by loud, suspicious noises

Books:

Any about me! It must be an ego thing.

Heroes:

Representatives of my species that can elude getting caught!
