about me

Hey my name is Michael Anderson, and I am a sophomore logistics major at the Ohio State University.  Currently, I am enrolled in 4 classes: Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Digital Art, and Computer Science and Engineering.  Even though most people would say that economics and cs&e are boring, I seem to be enjoying them so far.
One thing about me is that I am a very active person.  I always am up to play any kind of sport.  Throughout high school, I played tennis and Frisbee, but also played basketball, baseball, and football for recreation.  I also love to do outdoor activities.  One of my favorite things to do is go fishing.  I have been fishing since I was in fourth grade.  My family never really liked fishing, but I have since inspired my dad (given he was the one who would have to take me) and now he enjoys it about as much as I do.  The top five fish I like to fish for are: 5. Panfish.  Panfish include sunfish, rock bass, bluegill, and pumpkin seed.  They do not get very large, and because of their relatively small size, do not put up too much of a fight.  4. Smallmouth bass.  Smallmouth bass are related to the largemouth bass, the differences being their colors, and how far back their mouths go.  3. Largemouth bass.  The largemouth bass is found on almost every continent, and is the same completely around the world.  They are agressive, and have been seen to weigh over 20 lbs in some places.  2. Walleye.  I love to fish for walleye.  Walleye usually bight very early in the morning, and late at night.  It depends on the cycle of the moon.  When fishing for walleye, you need to look for dramatic changes in depth, since walleye like to live around areas of pressure change. Walleye can also grow to 30+ inches.  1. Northern pike.  The northern pike is my favorite type of fish to catch.  They can grow over 60 inches, weigh more than 60 lbs, and are extremely agressive fish.  They normally attack creatures that wander into their territory, so a common way to fish for the northern is to troll for them.  Trolling is where you drop a line in the water off the side of your boat, let around 100 feet of line out, and drive until you get a bite.  It is not uncommon for northern to leap out of the water when hooked on a line.  That is why the northern is my favorite type of fish to catch.
