I was introduced to fishing at a very young age and was hooked right away. I've always been drawn to the water, and it was the excitement of catching a big fish that kept me coming back for more. I guess you could say it's in my blood. To be able to do what I love for a living is a dream come true. Now, I enjoy more than anything watching people catching a fish for the first time, landing their personal biggest fish, or seeing a kid get their first fish. I get just as excited when we get a fish on the line today as I did 45 years ago as a kid.
