| Why He Fishes | “It’s all I’ve ever wanted to do since I was 2. This is the dream and what I set out to do. That’s all it’s really about. I never deviated from fishing. It’s never been, ‘I want to be a basketball player or football player.’ It’s always been about fishing. I love the competition.” |
