Least Favorite Lake | Caesar’s Creek Lake (OH) – "It’s about 6 miles from my doorstep. Ohio’s largest inland lake and by far the worst lake in the country. So bad no tournament trails even fish it because of the fear of all the boats blanking. Aaron Martens even blanked on this lake." |

When Not Fishing | Likes to hunt anything in season. Also likes to spend time with the family biking, hiking, camping and "enjoying what Mother Earth has to offer." |
Why He Fishes | "The Lady of the Lake just draws me to her. It defines who I am. It’s my serenity, it’s my faith, it’s my dreams, it’s my universe. I think you’re just born with the trait to want to fish/hunt. It’s just my instinct." |
