- A small farm pond in Iowa where the biggest bass I - ve ever caught is swimming
Favorite Fishing Technique: 1. Slow retrieving Sidearm with small mixed color Colorados and a Blue Avenger skirt. (It won me two checks and caught fish in tough conditions.)
2. - Puckering 'the surface with a medium silver willow Quickstrike in a white/red skirt. This rapid, rod lifting technique has saved my behind in quite a few club tournaments at the end of the day.
Fishing Experience: Fishing Experience: I grew up next to a farm pond that was - owned - by my neighbor and outdoor mentor. He taught me so much about the outdoors while instilling in me the importance of catch & release and management of the resource. My father and I have been fishing together for as long as I can remember. I - ve been fishing tournaments for the past several years. I - ve had pretty good success and a great time doing it. My current focus is to gather as much knowledge as I can to make me as versatile an angler as I can possibly be.
Pro's Pointers: I think the Secret Weapon lure design - and especially the kits - is tapping into the same fascination we all had in our youths with Legos, Erector Sets and Lincoln Logs. There is something undescribably rewarding about - building'something successful. I DECIDED to use mixed colorados, I DECIDED to swap skirts, I DECIDED to use a small weight/large blade. It's never a matter of - what's in the box for me to throw, - it's always - what am I going to MAKE that will catch fish today/ - ...it's cool feeling.
