Angling Hero

 Gary Klein - "I've always admired him. When he was 19 and won a Bassmaster on Lake Powell and ran over 100 miles one-way, which back then was unheard-of, I was 15 and thought, I could be doing that. He's the consummate professional."
Favorite Lake

 Lake Erie - "I love to catch big smallmouths, and Erie has the best smallmouth fishing in the world."
