When Not Fishing | "I'm a hunter. I've raised bird dogs since I was a kid, and I love to hunt quail and pheasants. I like to hunt deer, too, and other than that I spend a lot of time fishing Table Rock." |
Why He Fishes | "Just for the enjoyment of it. I just love the outdoors. I was introduced to fishing by an older cousin of mine, and I took to it immediately. Adding the competitive aspect to it has really gotten in my blood, and I just love it." |
