Angling Stuff

Angling Hero	Rick Clunn - "He's done it in the past and he's doing it now. He's just incredible."
Home Lake	Lake Erie (PA)

When Not Fishing	"I like to spend time with my family at home, and just be around the house."
Why He Fishes	"I like the competition. That's why I fish tournaments. And I don't have a real job so I have to fish now (laughs)."
