Just wanted to stop in and say hi. My name is Tom Kite and I live in Lees Summit Missouri just outside of Kansas City. I grew up fishing the rivers and lakes South of St Louis. My favorite being Big River at Leadwood Missouri. Used to ride my bike there with a can of corn and catch perch all day long. As i got older I discovered the fine smallmouth bass fishing on the river and caught my fair share.
At age 21 something horrible happened . I discovered golf and have spent the last 14 years of my life chasing the little white ball all over the United States. But for some reason this spring at Branson we decided to rent a boat and go out on Table Rock . I caught 2 small smallies and got hooked again.
I just purchased my first boat a 1985 Fiberglass Tracker 1710 with 90 hp motor and IU pick it up tomorrow. So I'll be hittiing the lakes around here starting aboout 6am this Saturday.
One last thing I cannot believe how much rods ,reels and lures have gone up since I quit fishing in 93. That was quite a shock to walk in and look at those prices.
