Angling Stuff
| Angling Hero | Homer Circle - "Some of the first articles I ever remember reading about bass fishing, he wrote. And still today, he's a hell of an individual." |
|---|---|
| Home Lake | Toledo Bend (TX,LA). "It's so big, a variety of patterns work throughout the year, and it's taught me a lot about fishing. Just as good in winter as it is in summer." |
| Favorite Lake | Toledo Bend (TX,LA) - "It's more consistent, day in and day out and season in and season out, as far as taking a heavy weight to win a tournament, than any lake I've ever fished." |
| Least Favorite Lake | Florida - "The fish are so finicky. I've been fishing it since 1977, and we've only had one heavy-weight tournament there." |
| Favorite Technique | "I love to fish a plastic worm and jig deep (15- plus feet)." |
| Primary Fishing Strength | Soft-plastics shallow and deep |
| Secondary Fishing Strength | Pitching and casting a jig |
| Biggest Weakness | Chunking and winding down a bank |
| Boat | Skeeter |
| Motor | Yamaha |
| Fishing Sponsors | Shimano, PinPoint, Triple Fish line, C&C Hydraulic Jackplates, Reaction Lures, Davis Jigs, X-Wire spinnerbaits, Rod Wrap |
| Tow Vehicle (Sponsor) | Chevy Suburban |
Personal Stuff
| Favorite Food | Steak - "As long as it's thick and medium-rare." |
|---|---|
| Favorite Music | 1960s rock and soft rock |
| Favorite Book/Movie | Lonesome Dove (book)/Bullet (movie) |
| Non-Angling Hero | Grandmother - "She carried me fishing all the time, and I probably owe the love of fishing and the outdoors to her." |
| When Not Fishing | "I love to hunt, I'm into motorsports -- I like streetrods -- and I really like to go and fish somewhere and try to find a school of fish that no one's ever fished before." |
| Why He Fishes | "I guess because I'm better at it than anything else. It's been a progression, from when I was a little bitty fella fishing with my grandmother to eventually getting into bass fishing." |
