Feelings
on Tournament Fishing:
"Tournament
fishing creates a great competitive atmosphere, which requires
you to use your physical and mental skills to the fullest. It
also allows you to develop friends nationwide. Throughout the
years of tournament fishing, I've personally had the opportunity
to meet a tremendous amount of people and I have learned many
fishing techniques on different lures and different structures."
