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." |
