I caught my first largemouth on a popping bug some 45 years ago....is that possible? Even so I'm only 59, barely. another couple months will see the end of the 50's. Up until age 50 I was doing quite well, thank you very much! 55 told a different story and at almost 60 "I'm not the man I used to be". Truth be told I'm a COMPLETELY different man than I used to be!!! Everything that has been mentioned is true as, I believe, are the various reasons stated, with the exception of what used to be my favorite beverage, malted barley, hops, yeast and water. I haven't had a drink in over 3 years......maybe that explains some of these problems!!!
