My name is Amanda and I'm from Adams County, Ohio. I fish for whatever Sean (SeanStone) fishes for. I have fun and enjoy fishing most of the time, although at times I get frustrated when its raining, 90+ degrees, snowing, or when I have to walk more than a mile carrying the food for the trip. In the end I guess its worth it. I'm looking forward to competing in the upcoming tournament. Great site.

Amanda I reckon you hadn't fish with me and Chad and Richard. We deal with little inconveniences often. Richard is scared of coyotes and falls over lines we draw in the sand. Seems like most trips involve a bit of misery and in summer we prefer fishing in the rain. This keeps water skiers and skeeters to a minimum. We sometimes go a while between bites. I thought Richard was going to go all summer without a flathead but he pulled a couple in during the Fall ;D  We even make the kids pull their weight   When Kayla was 5 she only weighed 37 pounds. She finally allowed me to hold the rod so she could 2 hand the reel handle on a flat that was 52  Mike Magis and I scuffed up lines on rocks and after breaking one we decided to turn drags down till we respooled. My wife fought a flathead for close to an hour and it kept powering off when near the net. Mike asked if we should tighten the drag and I said NO! ;D Most people judge a sucessful trip by the fish they catch. We deem it successful if there are no broken bones or uncontrolled bleeding. |

Its funny that you say that Robby. One time Amanda casted into some power lines and the line wrapped around a few times. (Yep Power lines) So I had to try and break the line so she could continue fishing. To make a long story short, the 20lb big game had a lot of stretch and when the line snapped the 2 once egg sinker came flying down. It just so happened that Amanda's head was in the way. It was probably one of the worst sounds I have ever heard. She didn't shed a tear, but boy was she mad. She eventually got over it and continued to fish. That was a few years ago and she has since mastered casting the ambasadauers. She's been through a lot, but she's a good sport.
