Connor Keseric wrote a letter to the judges of his senior project for Creekview High School. He grew up fishing in Florida and wants to be a professional fisherman. For his project, he handmade his own fishing lure based on research into shapes and colors that appeal to fish. Though he faced challenges finding materials and it was tedious work, he is proud of the lure he created and hopes to pursue fishing as a career.

Dear Judges,
Hello, my name is Connor Keseric. I grew up in South Florida, so fishing has always
been my favorite thing to do, no matter the weather. I have always wanted to be a
professional fisherman and have had an interest in why certain fishing lures work in
different conditions. My goals for this project are to create my own fishing lure by hand
that will work in real fishing conditions. Hopefully, you will agree that I accomplished
this.
My product is a fishing lure that I have made by hand in my garage. This product relates
to my research paper because it is based on the shape and colors that fish like. Some of
the obstacles I have faced in this process are difficulty finding materials and how tedious
the work is. I ended up having to change the type of bait I would make and had to work
harder to complete the project. In the end, I finished the project, and I am proud of the
outcome.
My research and experience reinforce my desire to be a professional fisherman. I am
usually very bored when doing something for school, but this project held my attention
and I really enjoyed making this. Everyone always says that the best job for you is the
one that you love, so I would love to continue in the direction of fishing after high school.
Hopefully I will have the ability to pursue my fishing career during and after college.
I am honestly glad that senior project is over but I did enjoy making my product.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Connor Keseric
