Cool! I cut my teeth bass fishing on the lake outside of El Dorado when I was a kid. 
I also remember my dad making me swim out to submerged trees to un-snag his prized new "lures of the week" every time we went. "man, he sure needs to learn to cast better" I thought to myself. haha, good times. I still have one of his huge fat cranks in my tackle box that was all the rage at the time. compared to cranks of today it is frickin' huge! it's like longer than my shad rap by a bit and fatter than my fattest cranks. I can't bring myself to fish it very often - and only do it then in open water areas - because of not only sentimental value...but also the fact that I can't see a fish actually biting it. [sly]
