Background:
Fishing has been a part of my life since I took a spool of
thread and a small gold safety pin from my mother’s sowing machine
and caught my first minnow... its been an adventure since. From
those early beginnings to wading the Wapsi Pinicoln for small mouth,
rock bass, and pike to the mid years of MN BASS Federation
Tournaments to the later years fishing in money tournaments, I
haven’t ever lost my love for the fish or the fishery. In my real
life I am a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor working primarily
with adolescents... any day on the water is better than a day
addicted to chemicals. Fishing has been a very important part of my
own recovery.
