North Fork River

Anyway, that kind of started my guiding, and he's been out six or seven times since chasing this species or that species and trying to knock them all off the list.

And, you know, everywhere from, you know, Poplar Bluff area chasing brook garters and grass pickerel to North Fork of the White River for dusky striped shiners and Ozark bass.

So we've, we've been all over the place.

Well, it sounds like you've had a, had a good time with, with them.

And, you know, at that time, YouTube was kind of starting to crank up a little bit more, so I, I was a self-taught photographer pretty quick.

And I remember probably the first time I decided I wanted to take a picture of any wildlife, we were floating down, I guess it would've been the North Fork River, me and my parents and, and my brother, and we were on kayaks and, uh, there was a blue heron.

And at this point, I don't know how old I would've been.

I was, I was probably eight or nine, and there was a blue heron, and I'd never seen a blue heron at this point.
