Angling Stuff

Angling Hero Jimmy Houston - "I like his moral beliefs and his spinnerbait techniques. I've always been a diehard spinnerbait fisherman."

Primary Fishing Strength Shallow-water flipping and spinnerbaiting
Secondary Fishing Strength Shallow-water junk fishing
Biggest Weakness Grass lakes

When Not Fishing "I like to archery-hunt for deer, but I enjoy any type of hunting. I also like to fish with my wife."
Why He Fishes "It's always been a lifelong love. I was introduced to it at a young age. I also think it's the competitive nature of it. I wasn't big enough for the other sports, but this is soemthing I felt like I could compete at and be one of the best at."
