Angling Stuff

Angling Hero Grandfather and father - "They taught me a love of fishing and the patience to stay with it when the fish weren't biting. Without that start, I wouldn't be where I am today."
Favorite Lake Lake Guntersville (AL) - "Because the fishing's so good and you can catch them in a variety of ways."
Least Favorite Lake Lake Seminole (GA/FL) - "It's just hard for me to catch fish there."
Favorite Technique Chunking a spinnerbait in shallow water around heavy cover
Boat Ranger
Motor Mercury

Personal Stuff

Favorite Food Fried chicken
Favorite Music Oldies ('60s music)
Favorite Book/Movie The Hunt for Red October (book)/The Last of the Mohicans (movie)
When Not Fishing "I like to hunt birds (quail and pheasant) and deer-hunt."
Why He Fishes "I like the office setting, and I love the challenge of going one-on-one with the fish. For me, it's never been about beating another contestant."
