Introduction



   My name is Jake. I really despise blogging. I went to a private grade school and a private high school.  I grew up with great neighbors who still are my best friends to this day. Once we went off to college all three of us went our separate ways. I like to fish a lot. I like fishing for multiple species of fish.  I am a fan of fishing for large mouth bass. I am also a fan of fishing for walleye.  Sometimes I enjoy fishing for northern pike.  Pan fishing really is not my thing.  Fishing for small fish is sometimes enjoyable, but usually not to me.  My favorite lure to use is called a hula popper.  A hula popper is a floating lure that sits on top of the water.  You flick your pole and this make the lure pop in a sense on the surface of the water. The fish, typically large mouth bass, shoot out of the water in a terrific, and sometimes startling, acrobatic snatch of the lure.  One time I caught an enormous large mouth bass hula popping. It was two feet long and weighed about seven pounds.  In the state of Minnesota that is a relatively large, large mouth bass.  We took it to a taxidermist and got him mounted. He now hangs over the mantle of my fireplace. I am not a reader, or a writer. I do not like to do either of them. I am relatively strong in mathematics and would rather watch a movie of a book, then actually read the book.  Reading has never been my thing. I was always good at memorizing facts so I would skim text books and just memorize the facts I needed to know.  Blogging in my opinion is a total waste of time.  I do not care if people know who I am or what I do.  I think people should be more concerned about their lives rather than reading about other peoples.

  1. I would have to extremely agree with you on your opinion of blogging. I laughed slightly. I also dislike reading and writing. I've gone fishing in Alaska and in South Dakota and recently in wisconsin, I don't have the patience for it. So everytime now I just pass up paying for the license when my family goes in Wisconsin. Obviously you really like fishing, I really dont know much about it and so I'm not totally sure what else to say about it. This blogging is not my thing.

  2. Hey Jake, yeah I have never blogged before and probably won't continue after this class. I agree- I don't think people need to hear about my life and what I do unless they are my friends and I tell them about it! I don't know much about fishing, but I did used to fish at my grandma's lake. But it was for small blue gill and my grandpa did most of the work.
