New guy from Illinois

[Bucket Hat]

What's up folks?

My name is Chris from Benton, Illinois. I am an avid angler here in Southern Illinois, mainly focusing on Rend Lake and the Rend Lake Dam.

I must say, there is no better fight in fishing, then hooking a white or yellow striper.

If there is one thing I want to accomplish, it is to learn to distinguish between a white bass and a striped bass.

Hi Chris,
I'm from Illinois as well. And I love all types of fishing myself. I just recently learned that the lake across the street from where I live has just been stocked with about 1000 Stripers. I can't wait til they grow up and start the battle!
