My dad is the person responsible for taking me fishing and helping me become the dedicated person I am. I grew up fishing the lakes, ponds, and rivers throughout Maryland and Delaware. Eventually, I began venturing out to the open waters of the Atlantic from New England around to The Gulf of Mexico. Fishing to me was fun at first, then it became challenging, and now it is passion. There is nothing like seeing the bend in the rod and the tug on the line.
