fishing and family fun!
Hello and welcome to That.Reel.Life!
My name is Jimmy and fish have always been a favorite pastime for me for most of my life. The earliest memory I have when it comes to fishing is from the trips my family would take to Colorado and my brother and I would spend countless hours fishing for crawdads. My dad would also take us to the Santa Ana River in the mountains of the San Bernardino National Forest where we would fish for rainbow trout using Velveeta cheese, we would never come home empty handed.
As I got older I moved away from fishing and began to keep aquariums, both freshwater and saltwater reef tanks. But fishing always held a special place in my heart and would be something I would do periodically.
Fast forward another decade and I am now in 39 years old, working in the field of addiction treatment and a few of my coworkers began talking about fishing a lot and the bug bit me again. I recently took my kids on their first deep sea fishing trip and now I want to share that same love that I had for fishing as a child with them, so this is my story and adventures with my kids, along with me learning about fishing in the ocean and in the mountains.
Enjoy and I hope to reel you into our memories too.
