now thats a tough question to ansure ,if you want the short version just skip to the bottom .
as a kid i fished the detroit river and all water south to the ohio border( pearch , walleye ,cats ) , during summer vacations i fished around the hudson bay area ( big dog pike )and any water south to home , or when spending the summers in maine at my grandparents , i fished the black stream ( gills , pickrel )with an ocasional day or two at the ochen's shore ( sand shark ).
then mom and dad split up , a guy down the street was always taking me union lake and commerse township , dave's area . tons and tons of fish !
after that came puberty , girls and cars , i traded puberty for bars and cars for harleys and completley let the rod and reel go to rust and stuck with the girls . i was not a nice person to be around , at all . then came a failed marrage and slipped a little more to the dark side . it took a heart attack at the age of twenty eight to open my eyes . i met my now wife , got married and started a family . i started fishing again , then bow fishing , bow hunting , shotgun then rifle , then mussel loader ,
basic fishing came back easy , hand lineing for ol' marble eyes was something new , then came the fly rod , that still is something for me to figure out , but i enjoy it . trout fishing on a fly is pretty darn hard right now , but i'm getting better . to keep myself from getting crazy over the fly fishing i'm doing the chuck and duck for steelhead .
twelve years later i really don't have a favorite fish yet , i'm still making up for a wasted part of my life . you know you learn a lot from fishing , you also learn a lot more about yourself from fishing . i guess when i figure out my favorite fish , i'll have figured out myself too . i don't mind the wait , so far it's been fun re-discovering who i am .
short version ;
no favorite fish yet , just love the sport !
