Angling Stuff

Angling Hero	"Guido Hibdon, Rick Clunn - "I could name about a dozen of them I've always looked up to. Guido kind of fits my style of fishing."
Home Lake	Lake Granbury (TX) - "It's a tough fishery, a river-system lake, and I learned a lot on it." Squaw Creek (TX) - "It's the best lake in Texas. I learned to fish deep there."
Favorite Lake	Sam Rayburn (TX) - "There are always so many different patterns going on. You don't have to do just one thing there."
Least Favorite Lake	"I don't have one. I like them all. If you can catch one out of a lake, it's good enough for me."
Favorite Technique	Cranking structure - "I like to pull up to a spot and catch 30 fish, and fishing structure is the way to do that."
Primary Fishing Strength	Sightfishing
Secondary Fishing Strength	Flipping
Biggest Weakness	Jerkbaiting
Boat	Skeeter

Fishing Sponsors	Kicker Fish Bait Co., Fun-N-Sun Boat Centers, Browning Eyewear, Pro Ruler, American Rodsmiths

Personal Stuff

Favorite Food	Mexican (chicken enchiladas)
Favorite Music	Classic rock (ZZ Top, U2) and country
Favorite Book/Movie	Dances With Wolves (movie)
Non-Angling Hero	"Dad – I always looked up to him. He's a hard worker and nothing could ever slow him down."
When Not Fishing	"I like to spend time with my family, and I like to fish saltwater and hunt deer."
Why He Fishes	"I just love the feeling of being on the water in the morning."
