Angling Stuff

Angling Hero	Guido Hibdon - "I like the way he handles himself. I like his personality, he's been real successful catching fish, and wherever he speaks, the crowd loves him. He does a lot to promote bass fishing, more than he gets credit for."
Home Lake	Grand Lake (OK)
Favorite Lake	Sam Rayburn (TX)
Least Favorite Lake	Okeechobee (FL) - "Those bass down there are stupid in the wintertime. They don't fit my style of fishing very well. I've never been one to throw my bait out and let it lay there. If I was going to do that, I'd go out cat-fishing."
Favorite Technique	Soft-plastics
Primary Fishing Strength	Wacky-worming
Secondary Fishing Strength	Texas-rigging
Biggest Weakness	"Fishing too fast, when the bass want to eat slower."
Boat	Ranger
Motor	Yamaha
Fishing Sponsors	Minn Kota, Lowrance
Non-Fishing Sponsors	Castrol, plus "All State Tank Mfg., a big herd of cattle and a 5-foot-tall brunette."
Tow Vehicle (Sponsor)	Chevy Suburban

Personal Stuff

Favorite Food	Mexican (beef fajitas)
Favorite Music	Contemporary Christian
Favorite Book/Movie	Walk the Line (movie)
Non-Angling Hero	Dad (Marshall Robertson) – "He's the one who started taking me fishing when I was big enough to follow him along."
When Not Fishing	Enjoys bowhunting and whitetail deer hunting with his kids and grandkids.
Why He Fishes	"I like the competition of tournament fishing and I want to do my part to promote the greatest sport that we have."
