Angling Stuff

Angling Hero	"Guido Hibdon, Rick Clunn - "I could name about a dozen of them I've always looked up to. Guido kind of fits my style of fishing."
Home Lake	Lake Granbury (TX) - "It's a tough fishery, a river-system lake, and I learned a lot on it." Squaw Creek (TX) - "It's the best lake in Texas. I learned to fish deep there."
Favorite Lake	Sam Rayburn (TX) - "There are always so many different patterns going on. You don't have to do just one thing there."
Least Favorite Lake	"I don't have one. I like them all. If you can catch one out of a lake, it's good enough for me."
Favorite Technique	Cranking structure - "I like to pull up to a spot and catch 30 fish, and fishing structure is the way to do that."
Primary Fishing Strength	Sightfishing
Secondary Fishing Strength	Flipping
Biggest Weakness	Jerkbaiting
Boat	Skeeter

Personal Stuff

Non-Angling Hero	"Dad � I always looked up to him. He's a hard worker and nothing could ever slow him down."
When Not Fishing	"I like to spend time with my family, and I like to fish saltwater and hunt deer."
Why He Fishes	"I just love the feeling of being on the water in the morning."
