| When Not Fishing | "I like to hunt deer and work on fishing lures. I tie a lot of jigs and mess around with a lot of paints." |
| Why He Fishes | "The feeling you get when you're sitting there ready to blast off, and your heart's in your throat – it's almost indescribable. It's an adrenaline rush that you can't get from any other source. And fishing changes every day – the challenges keep me coming back." |
