Hello Everyone! Lake Hopper here. First and foremost I want to Thank you all for your support by purchasing Illumi-Knotty Tackle LLC Trolling Flies.  Now I want to share a little about my fishing history.  It began about 20 years ago living in Arkansas. Out of boredom one day, I went out to a local lake called "City Lake", in Siloam Springs Arkansas. Not really knowing what to expect, I brought a newly purchased Walmart spinning combo, bobbers, hooks, and of course some Night crawlers. With the whole day to enjoy I figured what the hell and started casting where I felt fish would be hanging out. To my surprise I actually got a nibble. My bobber was bouncing pretty good, so I set the hook and caught my first Blugill. Nothing big, but still fun and different. A week or so later I went back to City Lake hoping to have some fun catching Bluegill again, but this day I caught my very first Bass, and it was giving a hell of a fight! After landing it I was hooked on fishing for life. 
I love fishing so much I started to invest more time and money including rods, reels, line, lures, ect... I started watching Bassmaster to see what I can learn and hopefully pick up some usable tips and tricks.In short, I got into the tournament scene. Of course as time goes by I got into fishing for all types of fish species like Catfish, Crappies, Perch, Spoonbills, and even Garr.
Now that I'm in the PNW I have expanded even more of my fishing to include Salmon, Walleye, Kokanee, All Trout species, surf perch, squids and everything in between. I am the type of person who gives 150% effort in everything I do, so you can imagine the time, effort, money, and heart when it comes to fishing. I can go on and on telling you more about myself but I will keep it short and sweet. I can sincerely say, I have a PASSION and a Problem when it comes to fishing. It is worse than a drug because its all I think about, day in and day out.
In closing, I want to thank Roston for letting me be a part of the Illumi-Knotty Tackle LLC Family, I am very honored. See y'all on the lake, Lake Hopper Out!! See Ya!!! Check out my YouTube channel ->
