Non-Angling Hero "When Michael Jordan was playing basketball, he was a guy I really admired. I still do. I think he's a super role-model for the sports world."
When Not Fishing "I spend about 50 or 60 days a year deer hunting."
Why He Fishes "I just love to fish, probably more than I love to compete. I go fishing whether I'm in a competition or not. When I'm home, I'll spent 3 or 4 days a week out on the water just fishing. And I like looking for fish, and finding fish, more than catching them."
