Hello folks,

My name is Jacob Baldwin and I live in Virginia (I have my whole life). I have been a total nutcase about native fish here in VA ever since I was a small child. Over the years I have had the oppurtunities to fish all over the country and find myself very immersed in the different families of fish.

I had no idea such a forum existed until very recently. This is a great relief to me personally to know that there is a whole world of folks as excited as I am.

Although I don't currently keep any fish, I have kept many sunfish species and Smallmouth Bass over the years. I worked as an assitant manager in the fish department a popular petstore when I was a teenager and have been GAH-GAH for fish ever since.

It is a pleasure to meet all of your aquaintences and I look forward to chatting with all of you.

Thanks so much.

Welcome Jacob, maybe we'll stimulate you to start keeping fish again.

Welcome Jacob. We're glad you found us and it's sure great read your enthusiasm....reminds me of what I felt like when I found NANFA.

Welcome, Jacob! We hope you enjoy your stay!
