====== Fishing ======
From 1999 to somewhere around 2015, I was really into fishing. It wasn't easy to get me started but my friends Aric and Scott finally convinced me to go fishing with them at [[Strawberry Lake]] in Evart, Michigan. It was at [[Strawberry Lake]] that the [[Hatfish]] competition was born. 

In just a few short years I acquired a rather extensive collection of [[Fishing Tackle]]. I'd spend hours at Cabela's or Bass Pro Shop as well as local shops. I'd watch Bill Dance Outdoors, In Fisherman and any other fishing programs on [[Fishin' Fishin' Friday]].

I haven't gone fishing very much in recent years but for a while, I was seriously addicted. There were numerous fishing adventures. [[My Longest Day Fishing]] was July 13th, 2000. I did a frigid day on a [[Steelhead Charter with Wild Bill]] and [[A Week In The Boundary Waters]] fishing in Canada. I've even tried [[Ice Fishing]] a few times before I decided that it wasn't my bag.
