Hello all my name is Kadin everyone calls me Big K (6'3" 270).

I'm a disabled retired police officer and my passion is golf, yea that's not a typo I said golf (stick with me here)...

I'm a featured writer for the largest golf forum on the internet and we are associated and linked with Golf Digest. I'm a product tester/reviewer and I'm on the equipment review panel.

I carry a pro titled as a golfer and I'm sponsored by a major OEM.

My new career is custom building and fitting golf clubs.

Fishing is my hobby thanks to my father. I am now passing this on to my children ages 3 and 5 "Take a kid fishing"

I found Crappie.com while searching for info on crappie fishing. When I first started lurking I noticed a very familiar tone. The members here we're exactly like the ones on the forum I write for except it was all about fishing, boats, tackle and techniques. It was so a like I laughed and said to my wife "look, see...I'm not the only one passionate about what I do"

The best part was the boat picture thread! We have a "What's In The Bag" thread that is identical to your boat thread...I LOVE IT!

I knew at that moment, that Crappie.com was going to be my new home away from home forums.

Its nice to getaway from all the golf talk and numerous questions I receive from the other site...it's a breath of fresh air!

(Lengthy so far , I know...featured writer remember?) lol


Anyway I live in a private community called Lake of the Four Seasons and we have several private stocked lakes and the crappie fishing (well all fishing actually) is awesome. My wife and I have decided to purchase a boat probably in the off season or during winter.

I may not post much after this introduction due to my writing responsibilities on the other site. I wanted to take the time and say thank you for all the great info and for sharing your stories. My crappie fishing has improved thanks to Crappie.com
