HOBBIES: Fishing & Hunting

       I started fishing when I was very young. My passion for the sport grew stronger as I got older. I have been competing in fishing tournaments since 1998. I enjoy fishing for bass and musky. My favorite techniques are pitching deep grass mats, dragging tubes for Smallmouth Bass and casting Bucktails for Musky. Each year I try to master a new technique to make myself a stronger angler. I'm looking froward to fishing with the Fearfishing team this year to catch some big fish .
