Angling Stuff

Angling Hero Larry Nixon, Rick Clunn - "I grew up on Lake Conroe. At that time, Conroe had guys like Clunn, Zell (Rowland), Dave Fenton, Harry Grubbs, Robert Tucker and others guiding there. I'd go up there just to be around them."
Favorite Lake Lake Sam Rayburn (TX) - "It feels like home to me. Those bass have been very nice to me over the years."
Least Favorite Lake Lake Norman (NC) - "It didn't have any bass in it when we fished it. And I got some kind of fungus from a bass there. I thought I'd have to get my thumb amputated."
Favorite Technique Flipping deep grass
Boat Skeeter
Motor Yamaha

Personal Stuff

Favorite Food Mexican
Favorite Music Alternative rock
Favorite Book/Movie Forrest Gump (movie)
When Not Fishing "I like to fish with light tackle."
Why He Fishes "I love to compete, and I love the way it feels to find them. I love it to come together in a tournament. That power feeling you get when you win is just unbelievable."
